I seem to be in a minority here, but I just didn't like this book. Quite a few of the characters were either non-existent or horrendous, the story was interesting, but I think BMO should really be getting some sort of punishment for what he did, and that he forced them to continue, even threatening them one time.
And I was really looking forward to it. Princesses? Adventures? Battles? It all sounded really awesome, too bad it was apparently not meant to be. :(
I also didn't like that this one was in black & white, I had expected it to be in colour, and I think the book would have been better if it had been in colour. It would have given a bit more spark and a lot more fun. Now it felt a bit bland and boring at times.
I truly hated Lumpy Space Princess, and even though at the end she kind of redeemed herself, for most of the book she was a terrible, shitty, whiny, bratty little bitch princess, who never cared or took time to look around, bringing the party to dangerous situations. Sadly, she took quite a bit of the stage in this book, and I just wanted to erase her from the book.
Turtle Princess was just boring and at times I just forgot she was there. She also whines and is enormously depressing the times that she is doing something special.
Embryo Princess, wth is up with that? It was just disturbing and disgusting to see some kind of embryo/baby thing floating around naked. I am not even sure why this was considered a good idea or if they thought people would find it hilarious. I don't see anything hilarious/funny about a naked embryo/baby.
Breakfast Princess, I just loved her. She was kick-ass, she thought about things thoroughly, tried to keep the group together and tried to get out of things in the correct way. I was happy to see her getting pissed off with LSP, about time someone spoke up about LSP's horrendous behaviour. All in all, she was the only character I truly and really liked.
The other 2 princesses, Muscle Princess and one I forgot the name of, they were decent, but I feel like if they weren't in the story, we wouldn't really miss them.
BMO was another character that I truly disliked so much. He or she, or whatever it was, was just a whiny little brat. Demanding to become a princess. You don't do that stuff you did to the people you consider friends/acquaintances.
The ending was kind of cute, and there were also a few moments that I laughed aloud (like the bunnies/cute animals part or the Canadian Maple Syrup part), but these times were few and thus I can't rate this book higher than a 1 star. At times I just was dragging myself through the book, hoping it would get better, but every time I looked at the page stats and would see I was still far from completing it, I would sigh. It is a short book, but it felt I took an eternity to finish this.
Would I recommend this one? No, I would not.

Lumpy Space Princess is terrible. She's just a terrible person. There's no getting around that fact.
But DAMN is she perfection.
In this graphic novel, the Princesses of Ooo are trapped inside BMO's circuits after telling him he is not allowed to be a princess. BMO proceeds with his normal oblivious and maybe a bit psychotic tendencies, forcing them to play a game which has them capitalizing on their strengths and also facing their fears. Through it all, LSP is useless. Or...is she?
Well, I mean, she's got to be useful SOMETIME.
LSP fans (that is, EVERYONE) definitely need to read this book. Ohmigod.

What does it take to be a princess? Well, friendship. Friendship is important. And self-sacrifice. And being able to punch your way through a wall of skeletons. You know. The basic stuff.
(But seriously why is this one in black and white. I WANT COLOURS.)

a book geared towards kids that shows the importance of female friendships and how ladies working together is important! plus, b-mo is identified as male in this book (the character is rather gender fluid) and dreams of being a princess.
it's just fun, too. LSP is in pure lump mode and turtle princess says "gurl", just as i imagined she'd spell it.

Another seemingly drug crazed infusion on the page from a television series that is really in the insane territory. Each story is completely bonkers, but it is entertaining enough and ridiculous enough to bring you back again.

LSP wants to hang out with all of the princesses so she plans a surprise party for herself. BMO is upset that he isn't a princess and makes a wish on a star. The princesses at the party end up getting sucked inside BMO and have to win games in order to set themselves free!

This graphic novel was quite cute but not the best I've read in the series.
'Pixel Princesses' starts when Lumpy Space Princess plans her own surprise party because she wants all the princesses to hang out. When not many princesses turn up, LSP gets angry and decides she doesn't want to be a princess any more. Luckily for video-game-console chap BMO, who wants to be a princess, LSP's decision comes at just the right time. Adventure ensues.
