I really enjoyed this book! The cast of characters was wonderfully fresh, although I wish a tiny bit more time was spent on Leonie and her coven, as well as Clara’s backstory. That said, the pace probably would’ve suffered as a result. I really loved the inclusivity and clear message about how important intersectional feminism is. And all of the witchy lore was delightful!
The one thing I was NOT ready for was that ending. By god… there better be a resolution and not

Niamh’s utterly unfair death!!!! I’m hoping that her spirit is still there and when Ciara gets defeated (pleaaaaaase), Niamh’s spirit can go back into her body. Please.

Her Majesty’s Royal Coven was the political, witchy-sisterhood book I didn’t know I needed.

I really enjoyed this book, and the characters took the cake. The POV characters, their children and wards, their partners, and all of the side characters felt so fleshed out and real. Their relationships were so fun to read about, even the bad ones.

I will say that it wasn’t until well into the book that I felt like I understood how the magic system worked. The delineation between the different types of witches and what they can do, plus the elemental aspect of witchery, made for a lot of information that I still don’t fully grasp.

I’m very excited to read The Shadow Cabinet! 4 stars.
