My daughter really enjoyed this, but I am not a horse person... or a princess person, really. This book went on ad nauseum about the details of horses and the gear they wear, and I would have preferred more plot. Not a bad book, just not riveting.
I received this for review purposes on my blog, Nayu's Reading Corner.
I still squee with delight now that Princess Evie has chapter books, not just picture books for her wonderful tales. She has so much fun helping others and doing the right thing. I'm in love with Sparkles the cat who makes a purrfect companion (I couldn't resist the pun!) and makes Princess Evie a girl I'd admire. Okay, I adore the cute illustrations which seem to sparkle off the page, the style of Princess Evie & the others who are pretty and wear sweet, modest clothes and aren't stick-thin. Plus, come on, horses turning into unicorns are pretty awesome! I liked how the details of the foal's birth was side-stepped, so no gory parts. The poster at the end is rather cool too!
