When I was a kid, I just loved My Little Pony. I think it might have been my first obsession. So, I was pleased when they brought them back to live with Friendship is Magic, and although it didn't reach the levels of fun for me I had when I was younger it was always a trip down memory lane and very enjoyable.
I was very surprised, if not shocked, to find out that in this comic, apparently based on a movie, they are no longer ponies but girls going to high school. I was completely unprepared for this change and therefore it took a large portion of the comic for me to get used to the idea.
The story and the message are not unlike those seen in Friendship is Magic, but still I didn't enjoy this comic as much as the others. I think I like them best when they are just ponies.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Thanks to my daughter I've seen all three OAVs of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Equestria Girls at LOT. I don't mind, I'm a cartoon geek and I'll watch anything, no matter the target audience. Like Star Wars, I think the second one is the best. It has catchy music and pretty witty writing. This trade appears to be half prequel to the first OAV and half sequel to the first OAV. It's not bad, but I think it suffers from not having the witty writing of the second OAV. I think the amazing voice actors also really bring something to the cartoons that are missing in this book. Also, I think the art style works better when animated than with static characters.
Still, I go by the mouse-over text when I choose my ratings on Goodreads. Two stars is marked at "it's OK". That's what I thought. It didn't suck, but it didn't have the same enjoyable quality that made me not mind when my daughter was watching the related cartoons. (Something I can't always say of cartoons specifically directed at kids) So I'd probably pass on this one unless you just can't get enough of MLP:FIM:EG

In terms of plot, it's pretty thin, but the lesson is still an important one. And it's presented in an entertaining fashion.
