Dealing with coming out, queer identity and also transphobia and homophobia this book is very well written by an own voices author.
It also openly discussed race issues in parliament especially in the uk and I can only say this is accurate to real life - I love how it questioned what people haven’t been willing to change in the past. In the name of making their world more intersectional. With a smashing ending I can’t wait for the next book and shocked by who the villain turned out to be.

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.
