Low/urban fantasy: set in our world but add in some ✨magic✨
I loved the array of creatures they sprinkled throughout and the realistic integration of witches and warlocks with the "mundanes".
Great queer rep. Lots of bad ass witches.
There are quite a few POVs but I think it served the plot well. You're able to get a better sense of the characters thanks to the POVs.
Massive cliff hanger right at the end! I can't wait for the next book.

UK Release - 27/7/2022.
The first book in what is set to be a very exciting series!
In 'Her Majesty's Royal Coven' we meet a group of witches who grew up as childhood friends. As a dreaded prophecy seems to be coming true their friendship & powers will be tested to the limits.
Spoiler Free review. Wow. What a book.
I'm a sucker for a witch book anyway so as soon as this was announced it sounded right up my street. I throughly loved it. The characters are all (well mostly all, if you know you know) extremely loveable and we get very attached to them very quickly.
I loved the magical system in this and the fractions of the different covens. Juno brilliantly weaves real day, real life issues into a world that isn't that different from our own.
I love a book where each character has there own storyline that eventually all comes together.
Niamh Kelly is a brilliant main character, the story is largely set through her eyes and her struggles.
Leonie & Chinara's relationship was so lovely and felt extremely real. Hopefully in the rest of the series we get a POV from Theo?
I also can't tell you how chuffed I am that this book is largely set in the North of England. The base for HMRC is in Manchester which was just an incredible added detail, also the shopping centre I work at is mentioned which made me insanely happy!!!
I'm honestly so excited to see where Juno takes this series and these brilliant characters.
