Congratulations. You have been given the longest sentence of any mystic in the history of the realms.” Many years ago, shortly before the birth of one Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, ruler of Equestria, found a small item in a forest. That item? An egg. Around the same time, Celestia, ruler of Draconica found something small in a forest. A pony. Rory- Rory is such a badass murdery FMC. I loved her so much, she has zero chill when it comes to bad guys and does what she feels has to be done. (She's also completely unhinged, but in a really " her heart is in the right place" kind of way) I love her loyalty to her friends and the way she goes toe to toe with Caius is thrilling!

The Umbra will laugh before it uses its Shot of the Century ability. This can be used to tell when to use the Star Cannon.Undead • Mummy • Bones • Ghost • Buried • Reanimated • Witch • Slime • Goo • Reaper • Hallow Bones • Vampire • Bat • Hallow Guard • Lord Sinister Yes indeed. I wanted Rarity to tame him by riding this magnificent stallion until his will would be broken. After the brutal murder of her twin sister, Aurora ‘Rory’ Raven spends years forging herself into a ruthless vigilante killer. Firstly, I have to say I love Caius so much in this book. He's so hot and at the same time so cute! He's charming and SO caring, he truly is boyfriend material - wait no, even better, he's husband material 😍

But as if you needed any other reasons to love him, he is also loyal, caring, protective of his realm and his people. The way his relationship with Rory develops and how he comes to care for her and becomes devoted to her is so sweet and romantic and I was immediately owned by them. The Princess of the Night must help the ponies of her kingdom through their dreams. Night, after night, after night she helps them through their fears and problems... but who is there to help her when she needs it most?

The thing that really stood out for me is that in the beginning, you were given a guide on the realms, races and magic. I loved this as this is normally included at the end and by that part it's ALWAYS TOO LATE. I was a little bit scared going into this after reading the guide but throughout the story, Jamie Applegate Hunter did such a good job of explaining the world-building. It felt rich, and unique that I had never actually seen something like this (this might be because I don't read A LOT of PNR but I still found it fantastic). It was very structurally formulated and convoluted, but pretty simple to understand and grasp. Uniquely, The Umbra could be stunned by the Star Cannon. This also prevented the Shot of the Century ability from finishing. I didn’t rate 5 stars because there were a few times where the plot was a little too predictable or just something I’ve seen a million times before. But it ended up going in a good direction and really made up for it so kudos !! HOLY MF SH*T my 2023 fantasy reading has started off with not just a bang but a NUCLEAR explosion !! The prison realm was almost better than the normal realm. The sense in that? Apart from not seeing the sun, everything was pretty amazing. The interactions between the two MCs were so cringey I had to stop reading to take a breath (they helped me remember why I like being single btw). I can’t with the insta lust. The only cute one was when Caius asked Rory to identify the bowl’s color. That’s it.

Sam is my favourite side character. He’s this massive, blonde, intimidating Angel. He’s grumpy and a smartass at times, but he cares a lot about his friends, protects them, and fusses over them—It’s the sweetest thing ever. I just wanted to give him cuddles the whole time. Normal • Speedy • Slow • Normal Boss • Hidden • Mystery • Breaker2 • Breaker • Necromancer • Strong • Slow Boss • Hidden Boss • Bolt • Speedy Boss • Mystery Boss • Breaker4 • Breaker3 • Mystery Summoner • Grave DiggerThis story has a lot of magical characters including Fey, Alchemists, Angels, and more. The author does a good job building the realms and explaining each type of "mystic" character throughout the chapters. She also included a “World Guide” at the beginning of the book, and I appreciate that extra effort made for readers. This was my first fanfic ever written - didn't know if I wanted to make it very long so I opted for shorter (which means things play out faster). Hopefully nobody minds too much.
