A review by eviessreading
Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
3.0
3.5⭐
for the first quarter - half of this book i thought it had the potential to be a 5 star read so i am a little disappointed to be giving it a 3.5 star rating instead.
i really enjoyed the overall portrayal of magic realism and witches in today's society but some elements in the actual storyline were pretty lacklustre. the overall conflict resolution was a bit meh and it felt like it was it was built up to be this huge thing that was kind of dealt with relatively easily.
i did enjoy niamh, elle and leonie's povs, though, leonie definitely needed more chapters! she was the most interesting out of the three but was slept on a bit. helena's character went from 0-100 realy quickly with barely any character development, one page she was good, the next she was not and there was literally no inbetween.
the trans representation in this book was amazing and portrayed what being trans is like. i find it informative and educational on what life can be like for trans people and the emotions they go through.
the ending was so good though!! i’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book.
