after i got over the hurdle of switching povs, i really fell into the rhythm of the story

i loved these characters, bar one of course. i really enjoyed them together and seeing their sisterly bond.

the magic system was also so interesting to get into! i liked the lore that made this magic it's own thing, and the reliance on nature was a lovely aspect that gets any magic system points from me!

this did feel like a very direct response to joanne revealing herself as a terf, and i revelled in that! very very enjoyable to me!

Couldn't relate to the characters. They're all thirthy-somethings and some already have teenagers! Plus they're all traumatized by some previous war and the deaths that came with it. The plot is also slow going, and doesn't seem to get started. Maybe I'll be more able to relate in ten years.

This book is fantastic

Identity politics and why it is so important are explained through a world different, but also scarily similar to our own, which is what makes it message so powerful. This is the Harry Potter generation shooting a few messages loud and clear and also with no small wit. Don’t be fooled ɓy the pretty pinķ cover, this novel is not a fluffy read. The message contained within are to important. Definitely not for kids either, just in case you were wondering.

“Her Majesty’s Royal Coven” by Juno Dawson is modern fantasy in England with hidden communities of witches and warlocks that are known to the highest government but no one else. Four old friends have gone their own ways, practicing magic in different contexts. Elle is a housewife, Niamh has become a country vet, Leonie has created a coven centering diasporic PoC and Helena remains the only one working for the government in HMRC, now High Priestess. Niamh is asked to mentor some young magic users, including Theo, a traumatized and powerful young person who may be prophesied to destroy HMRC.
