This likely sounds like a trite question, but is FO:E really worth the read? The length is rather intimidating.

I'm okay with this.


Save Vinyl Scratch from a life-threatening experience. It seems that the 30th usually gets saddled with Vinyl Scratch 'n' Sniff or Shining Armoire, neither of which do I find especially endearing.

I can't help but notice I usually end up with Pinkie Pie, Derpy, or Trixie. I'm aware some folks would kill for a "hand" like mine, but these aren't really my personal favorites.

I heard of FanFics longer than that. I met a friend who regularly reads 1 million word long Naruto fanfics. FO:E is about 600,000 or so words.

I've stayed up all night a few times.

The only downside is that you can't really think.

But the problem with reading is that it can tire you out faster than exercising.

So reading anything long is just going to tire you out quicker.

Ah, to be young again. These days I'd be more interested in going 30+ hours without waking up.

If I'm not mistaken most/all of the original mane six are dead by the time the story occurs; but I've only read the first two chapters, so I might be wrong.

It is set over 200 years after the events of the show, but there's no reason there couldn't be a post apocalyptic Canterlot High playing host to raider-pony-humans.
