Rainbow Dash and The Daring Do Double Dare ReviewThis review is specifically made for Bronies and Pegasisters. I’ve done other extensive reviews on G.M Berrow’s other pony books. I hope to do justice for Rainbow Dash and her book.A little about me, I’m a 22 year old college dude student in EE and CS, I’m a huge anime fan and brony. I love slice of life stories they are practically my life, I live for them.I will put my comments in the following format [ my comments ]Rainbow Dash Background:Ahh, Rainbow Dash arguably the most badass pony of all of Equestria, the pony who’s practical middle name is Danger should give you heads up that this pony means business. Well, if you count the latest episode she has another middle name responsibility giving her full name as “Rainbow Danger Responsibility Dash” now that’s a name! She is herald as a fandom symbol and is arguably the most popular among both guys and girls [cue best pony debate XD]. She is ponyville’s resident practical, sports freak, prankster gal.~ Spoilers after this Point ~ You have been warned!Overall Summary [ Straight to the Point] -We all know Rainbow Dash is a huge fan of the Daring Do’s adventure books. Ever since Twilight Sparkle introduced her to the series during her hospitalization due to a broken wing after a aerial trick mishap, RD has become a bonfide, legit fangirl for the whole series beating Twilight Sparkle in geekiness and egghead cred. [That’s quite a feat!] Now the story, G.M Berrow has written centers around Rainbow Dash proving to everypony that the tricks Daring Do performs in her books are totally doable and with her awesomeness she would prove it.
While I realize I'm not in the target age group for this book, I'm a big fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and was interested to hear new stories about each of the main characters....sadly, this is the first entry that I feel wasn't quite up to snuff.The story begins with Rainbow Dash camped out to receive the latest book in the Daring Do chapter series. After devouring the story, she starts taking up dares from her friends, trying to prove she can be just as awesome as Daring Do. But when Zecora tasks her with finding a lost artifact, have the dares finally gone too far? Can Rainbow Dash complete the mission? And will her pride get in the way?Simply put, the lesson this time around is just a retread of the "Applebuck Season" episode of the show, only with Rainbow Dash...and not as good. Considering the time this was written, and the timeline of the show, it seemed pretty out of character to me that Rainbow wouldn't accept any help from her friends, especially on a mission with REAL monsters and life threatening danger. The villain that appears at the end pops up completely out of the blue with no backstory or build up, and all the items Rainbow used in her quest (given to her by her friends) just screamed deus ex machina.And SPOILER ALERT: It then turns out her friends were following her the whole time, making sure she'd be okay on her own and letting her do the quest herself. Nice friends YOU are guys-let's wait until Rainbow is almost dying in quicksand before jumping in to help her. *eye roll*END OF SPOILERSIt sounded to me like this was supposed to be a Daring Do adventure, but at the last second, they just swapped out her name for Rainbow Dash and called it a day.
