I m a great believer you can t be prejudiced against fictional races and the most strongly loathed are the Kelts metaphors for Irish people and people with wings.

Book Review: The Black Witch (The Black Witch Chronicles #1) by Laurie Forest
Elloren Gardner is the granddaughter of the last prophesied Black Witch, Carnissa Gardner, who drove back the enemy forces and saved the Gardnerian people during the Realm War. But while she is the absolute spitting image of her famous grandmother, Elloren is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at the prestigious Verpax University to embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her grandmother’s legacy. But she soon realizes that the university, which admits all manner of people—including the fire-wielding, winged Icarals, the sworn enemies of all Gardnerians—is a treacherous place for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.
As evil looms on the horizon and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, everything Elloren thought she knew will be challenged and torn away. Her best hope of survival may be among the most unlikely band of misfits…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to hate and fear.
GOOD ENOUGH TO PURSUE BOOK TWO.
I had heard about a million different conflicting reviews and issues with this book. But with a personal friends and Morrighan’s Review (give her a follow!) I chose to give it a chance.
Overall, it was good. I definitely had some issues with it but I liked what was being laid out and want to see where it continues to go.
- The way that racism was depicted as always a bad thing (this is a fantasy so it’s between the different races in the book: witches, fae, werewolves, etc.). Elloren (and others) would make me so mad with how they were all treating each other and the things they would do and say. But, as time went on Elloren consciously realized what she was doing and how wrong she was. This allowed her character to grow a lot and made the book so much better.
- I really loved the setting. There wasn’t a lot of world-building, but I thought it was fun to have it at a school. I feel like any school setting is immediately judged against Harry Potter, but this is so vastly different I had a good time with it.
- The nuanced relationships. Things were a lot more focused on friendships rather than relationships (though, those are definitely building up). Since Elloren was evolving she was opening herself up to new people and they were all learning from each other.
Things I struggled with:
- For a witch her doesn’t have powers (but obviously does) they NEVER SHOWED UP. I thought surely within 600 pages we have that grand moment where her powers come in full force, but nope. So now I have to wait til I get book two to see how that comes out.
- Elloren was a wreck most of the time. I felt she cried literally every other page (not saying crying is a bad thing, but if I notice something recurring that often, holy wow). Her emotions were kind of all over the place and boys were taking up a lot of her time.
- There wasn’t much that moved the plot forward. She spent her time at school, making friends, overcoming her own misguided sense of hatred, but at the same time, it didn’t lead anywhere. Things are happening further away from her, but the “battle” hasn’t come to them yet. I guess this book was setting up for all to come.
Overall audience notes:
- Young adult fantasy + paranormal (witches)
- Language: b**ch used a few times
- Romance: a lightly passionate kiss
- Violence: magic, physical, bullying
- Trigger warnings: racism, bullying, racial slurs, animal cruelty
I had heard about a million different conflicting reviews and issues with this book. But with a personal friends and Morrighan’s Review (give her a follow!) I chose to give it a chance.
So saddle up and join the journey of friendship with the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic DVD box set..
Reviews for "Step into the Magical World of Equestria: The My Little Pony Friendship is Magic DVD Box Set"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I purchased the "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic DVD Box Set" for my daughter who is a big fan of the show. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of these DVDs. The picture quality was very blurry and the sound was muffled. Some of the discs even skipped and froze during playback. I tried cleaning them, but that didn't help at all. It was frustrating to see my daughter so upset because she couldn't fully enjoy her favorite show. I would not recommend this box set to anyone looking for a good quality viewing experience.
2. Mark - 2 stars
As a parent, I find it important to find shows for my children that are both entertaining and educational. However, "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" missed the mark on the educational aspect. I was hoping for a show that would teach my kids valuable life lessons in an engaging way, but instead, it was filled with shallow and superficial storylines. It seems to only promote consumerism and materialism, focusing on clothes, makeovers, and parties. Additionally, the show doesn't provide any deep character development or complex plotlines. Overall, I found "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" to be a disappointment for parents looking for more substantial content for their children.
3. Dylan - 3 stars
While I can understand the appeal of "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" for younger children, as an adult, I found it difficult to get through even a few episodes. The animation style seemed overly cutesy and the characters lacked depth and complexity. The humor was simplistic and didn't cater to older audiences at all. Therefore, I couldn't fully enjoy the show as an adult viewer. However, I recognize that it might be enjoyable for kids and can see why it has such a dedicated fan base among them. Nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend it to adults looking for a more mature and well-rounded animated series.
