Misty Brightdawn has moved to Maretime Bay, where she found a game called Maretime Mysteries in a curio shop. Playing the game with her friends Sunny, Hitch, and Sparky unleashes a curse on the town of Maretime Bay. Can the curse be broken? Let’s gallop into My Little Pony Maretime Mysteries #2 and find out!

 

Story

An evil genie hiding in the game has cursed the town of Maretime Bay. Misty and her friends must find clues to break the curse and return the Maretime Bay to normal.   Misty blames herself, but Sunny and Hitch are true friends who keep her spirit up and do not blame her for what has happened. 

 

Throughout My Little Pony Maretime Mysteries #2, Abby Bulmer gives us a tour of Maretime Bay using cleverly written clues that Misty and the others must decipher.   With each deciphered clue, the town gets a little topsy-turvier, and the ponies must work together to find an enchantment to break the curse.

 

Art

In My Little Pony Maretime Mysteries #2, Dax Gordine builds the Maretime Bay town with plenty of fun details, but more impressive is the way Dax Gordine shows the wide range of emotions that the ponies go through, from self-doubt, surprise, fear, thoughtfulness, to name a few.   Valentina Pinto fills the pages with vibrant colors that bring life to the story.

 

Neil Uyetake’s uppercased lettering is well-spaced and easy to read in white bubbles, which helps readers flow through My Little Pony Maretime Mysteries #2.

 


 

 

Final Thoughts

By working with Sunny and Hitch, Misty learns more about her new home and what friendship means in My Little Pony Maretime Mysteries #2. When someone is new to a place or job, working with other experienced people can get the job done.

 

Rating 9.8/10
