The Battle of Canterlot by Adjutant Stormy

This is a neat outline/summary of what could be a cool story. Had a really forced Lord of the Rings reference that made me laugh. It wasn’t a comedic reference. Plus the end is a little weak. So I’m not sure I’d recommend it, but it wasn’t a waste of time to read. I’d be interested to see the premise/plot actually written out as a novel-length proper story.
Order from Chaos by TwilightSnarkle

I liked this. It’s a story told in journal format, which I enjoy. One of the better human in Equestria stories I’ve read, even if that’s not really how I would describe it. Simple and to the point and is a story that accomplishes what it wants to accomplish without any real fancy bells or whistles. Not complex, but I enjoyed it.
Justice by TwilightSnarkle

A good follow-up to the previous one. A nice look at law and justice and having one’s past revealed. Plus a interesting way everything got resolved. I liked the connection drawn between Worker’s transformation and Nightmare Moon’s transformation. Metaphorically, that is. Looking forward to the final story of the trilogy.

A great end to this series. A fine story about redemption and the change of past into present. I’d highly recommend this, though read the first two first obviously. A story that pretty much sums up the saying ‘die a hero or live long enough to be the villain’. This story also had a few good moments showing the royal sisters as powerful divine beings. Nothing big, except one moment near the end, but some little touches here and there through both this story and the previous that highlights that they aren’t like other ponies. I’ll also say that this entire trilogy was pretty easy to understand if you don’t know the non-pony side of things. I only have the barest passing knowledge of Sonic (as in I’ve read one of the comics a decade ago, seen some episodes of the cartoon way back when, and have played the second sonic game a while when it was new) and I never felt lost or confused about anything.
Fine Steps by TwilightSnarkle

Starts out with a few short stories, but the majority of it is chapters from one longer story. A story with a interesting origin story for Celestia and Luna. Good writing, but I have to say I was hoping for more slice of life stuff. Also it is incomplete. Which I didn’t mind because I thought it was one of those collections where each chapter is it’s own story. However, if you liked the previous trilogy, you should check this out. It is more of the same good writing.
As always, The Big Master Review List is here: { THE MASTER LIST }
If you know of a text-format reviewer I'm not keeping track of, please let me know and I'll see if they meet the criteria to be assimilated into the list.
If you are an author who wants a more detailed review of a story I've covered feel free to message me. My reviews tend to be fairly light, mostly just reactions to a story right after reading it. I am happy to give a more careful read and reply to anyone who wants more precision and/or feedback.
