A boring book I bought mostly for the toys.
The toys have a lousy paint job, but it is better than the very first MLP Busy Book, as a lot of these characters are more complex but seem to have the same level of wonkiness (instead of more).
As for the story, there's no dialogue or real action. It's all a summary of events framed around character introductions. This can make things jarring, as there are no transitions. You turn the page and are suddenly in a new location with new characters. The last two pages especially crack me up, as one page ends on a refusal to help yet the next page starts by saying they had help. XD
I kind of like the character introduction style for the storytelling, as there's a lot of new characters, but it really needed transitions for the bigger narrative.
As for the artwork, it's a bunch of vectors slapped on to mostly zoomed in backgrounds. Literally the only time there's interaction with the background is the very last page. So, the first Busy Book does win there, in that they tried to create interactions with backgrounds/characters on most of the pages. For this book, the only repeat in vectors is the book's cover, which makes sense to me.
However, I don't understand why they chose that vector of Tempest. On the cover, fine, but on the page where they introduce her as a villain? Why did they pick a vector where she looks nice/reformed? It makes no sense.
Overall, it's a boring and kind of jarring retelling of the movie, but other than the questionable vector choice for Tempest, the artwork doesn't have any real flaws to it. The toys aren't as bad as they could have been, though they have the usual poor paint job of these books.

It is fine for what it is, but it is pretty much just for kids who saw the movie. It introduces the new characters and that is pretty much it.
