Personally I love the Odyssey and my little pony but I fully didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did. It’s funny and adorable with witty dialogue and amazing artwork.

My favorite My Little Pony reimagining so far! A humorous retelling of The Odyssey interwoven with a variety of Greek myths.
Join Pinkie Pie on her journey home from a baking competition to reunite with the most perfect-est cupcake. Can she get there before the greedy suitors claim it?
This was such a fun read. Pinkie encounters various ponyified versions of Odysseus' experiences, including the lotus eaters, Circe, and Scylla and Charybdis. Along the way, she also listens to tales of Atalanta's race, Arachne and Athena's weaving competition, Phaethon driving the sun chariot, and Psyche and Eros.
Love the side characters that pop up in the story as well as the Mane 6. Nice mix of references from MLP, Greek mythology, and pop culture.
Sometimes different artists taking different comic issues in a series can make for an awkward flow, but this one is broken up into different stories so the different styles worked really well.
Great humor. Nicely told.
All around a fun exploration of Greek mythology. Honestly a great way to get young readers interested in The Odyssey to understand the various jokes and references. Very entertaining.
I read this as an adult Greek myth fan with limited exposure to MLP just looking to have some silly fun with a lighthearted adaptation, but in the end I just don’t really get this. Readers of the age this is meant for won’t know the original story and be able to read this as a parody, and so much is changed it doesn’t really make for an introduction to the Odyssey either. It’s also full of references I doubt kids are going to get.
