Overall.
"Darling! Can you calm it down up there? I can barely hear myself think over all the screaming!"
"If I give you foals, will you let me crush the unfortunate in peace!?"
Best lines:
A year following Hyperion’s suggestion, Periapsis gave birth to a foal she named Celestia. Her presence was bright like the sun. She was their little princess.
“What’s the matter, Sunshine? I’m trying to teach you something.” His voice was cold and authoritative.
“Mother is not obsessed!” she blurted out in desperation. “This one belongs to her, and I will not—” Celestia felt an impact across her face followed by blood trickling down her nose.
“Do not interrupt me, child. Now, I gave you a task.”
The mortal pony civilization came into sharp focus for her, and she wept over their treatment by her parents. She introduced herself to them for the first time as their Princess, and she promised to look after them and advocate for them. Celestia had finally become aware of the “Traits of Harmony”.
For an alicorn, destruction is the easier option.
Why read? Beautiful lore + artwork; vivid family dynamics; interesting characters; majestic tone; Celestia characterisation
Flaws. Action needs to be punchier.

Final thought. "Mom! Daddy's crushing the unfortunate again! Mom! MOOOOM!"
Thanks for that! What a nice surprise.
