The first officially licensed ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' chapter book and the first in a series by G. M. Berrow, and part of the overall Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 universe. it is placed just after the end of season three and explores Twilight Sparkle's reactions to becoming a princess, and Cadance's own struggles with the same. Done in the style of a typical episode, with a fairly standard plot line and a surprising amount of WorldBuilding for a children's book.

* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother to Her Citizens]]: Cadance knows the name of every one of her subjects. Even study queen Twilight is intimidated, and immediately wonders if she should get some flash cards made up.
* AdaptationalVillainy: By the end of ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Magic Duel]]'', it seemed like Trixie made a full HeelFaceTurn, which makes her return to an antagonistic role here rather jarring.
* {{Backstory}}: Goes in depth about Cadance's backstory.
* CallBack:
** Cadance's cosmic spectrum necklace that she gives to Twilight is very similar to the Alicorn Amulet, especially in the backstory.
** The reveal that she was originally a [[spoiler:pegasus makes sense, considering many of her more memorable moments have been in flight.]]
** Her transformation into a Princess took her to the same hall of mirrors as Twilight it seems.
* ContinuitySnarl: It seems possible that the author read the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure season finale's script]] before previous episodes had aired.
** The book either ignores or undoes Trixie's redemption in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Magic Duel]]''.
** The lines ''"... the five ponies and their baby-dragon companion made their way through the front gates of the Crystal Empire. The last time they'd all visited was during the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 Crystal]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 Faire]]"'' may or may not ignore the SynchronousEpisodes ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E8JustForSidekicks Just for Sidekicks]]'' and ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E12GamesPoniesPlay Games Ponies Play]]'' (depending on whether or not the characters being there at the same time but separately counts as them "all visiting").
* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover features Twilight as a unicorn, despite this being set after the season 3 finale, where she was transformed into an alicorn. May be due to trying to hide the LateArrivalSpoiler (see below).
* FamedInStory: According to the beginning, Twilight has become famous around Equestria.
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: As soon as Cadance and Twilight realize what they needed in order to be effective leaders, the Crystal Heart Spell revealed itself to them.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Barely averted. This book was announced long before Twilight Sparkle was confirmed as becoming an alicorn, so the blurb was intentionally vague about what this 'Royal Event' actually was.
* MosesInTheBullrushes: Cadance, making her reveal as the [[RightfulKingReturns Crystal Princess]] even more troperific
* RoyalBrat: Twilight becomes increasingly arrogant and disdainful of those around her, her irritation at the less than helpful suggestions of her friends and misinterpretation of Cadance's advice feeding the amulet's corrupting influence.
* SecretTestOfCharacter : Not that secret, as Cadance clearly explains the amulet's ability to magnify both the noble and no so noble elements of it's wearer's character. Twilight [[WhatAnIdiot misses it completely of course]].
* SmugSnake: Trixie and Gilda supply their normal arrogance, but manage to achieve very little.
* TheBusCameBack: Trixie and Gilda.
* VillainTeamUp: Trixie and Gilda have become partners in crime since we last saw them, though for the moment they're just pulling pranks, conning crystal ponies, and giving Twilight bad advice.
