If you've ever wanted to learn the younger side of Celestia and Luna this is the MLP book for you. Hard core fans will be able to piece together history of Equestria and remember key events from Hearth's Warming Eve. With the first section of the journal being the diary entries of both sisters from their own perspective and the second being the diary entries made by the Mane 6 from Season 4 of MLP:Friendship is Magic.Basic Events Outlined(Spoiler Free)In the journal you begin with the coronation of Elsa & Anna after a brief explanation of how they became the Princesses of Equestria, I mean Celestia & Luna. Afterwards you hear about how the sisters picked the location for their castle. It then tells of how Luna befriends a manticore and how the castle is constructed. It then tells of a encounter with a certain prissy unicorn princess. You then learn of Celestia's love of books and Luna's more adventurous side where she discovers a herd of zebras. The next major conflict comes when the two sisters conflict over air space with griffons. Then take a trip to the Crystal Empire where the Crystal Heart has been stolen by a dragon. Finally journey through Celestia and Luna rising and lower both sun and moon as well as finding out about themselves.(Spoilers Abound)Approached by Star Swirl the Bearded directly after the events of Hearth's Warming Eve, which led to the founding of Equestria, Luna and Celie (as Luna affectionately calls her sister in her entries) were chosen to rule over this new land. The only reason the entries give as to why they were chosen was that they are alicorns; the combination of Earth, Pegasus and Earth ponies. It also introduces the two sisters as blank flanks who have yet to find their special calling in life.
I think even since as far back as Season 1, fans of the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" have often wondered just how Equestria's two rulers, sisters Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, came to govern all of pony land. Just what was life like before Twilight Sparkle and her friends came along? Just who was Starswirl the Bearded? How did Celestia and Luna themselves become alicorns? And how did they get their cutie marks?Most of those burning questions are answered in this book, which takes the form of journal entries written by the sisters themselves (the book that was first featured in the "Castlemania" episode of the show). We, the readers, are taken on an adventure, as the sisters are chosen to be the rulers of Equestria not long after Hearth's Warming Eve, on the account that they're alicorns. (Although, how they became alicorns, and/or why they were born that way is never explained.) We then follow a series of adventures as the journal entries swap back and forth between the sisters as they discover new areas of Equestria, make new friends, build their castle together, and eventually earn their cutie marks; all while taking sage advice from the powerful magician unicorn, Starswirl the Bearded.While there are some questions that still remain a mystery, like how Celestia and Luna are alicorns to begin with (since the "Magical Mystery Cure" episode seems to imply that being an alicorn has to be earned, and not simply born as such), pretty much everything else is explained, like how the sisters learned to be proper rulers, got their cutie marks, and made friends with the griffons, zebras, and creatures in the Everfree forest.
