A review by chippyreads
Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson

5.0

Oh! What a time to read this book! 

A secret government organisation of witches faces a prophecy said to doom them all. 

I read this book as an audiobook. It has 4 POVs, which are all easy to tell apart, even though the audio only has one narrator. Nicola Coughlan did an amazing job, I’d happily listen to her narrate anything from now on. 

This book has a lot of different kinds of feminism, we have the old school white feminism, terfs and intersectional. HMRC are pretty ‘old fashioned’ and don’t fully accept non white or queer witches, and DON’T EVER BRING UP TRANS WITCHES BECASE OMG TERFS. Loved the way the book dealt with those issues within the community and questions institutions' stances on ‘traditions’. 

This is the first book of an adult fantasy trilogy, and with an ending like that I’m eagerly awaiting the second book.  

Protect Theo at all costs.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK Audio for giving me an ARC audio copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
