Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
5.0
This is the story of four witches who were all once part of Her Majesty's Royal Coven, a secret coven sworn to protect the crown and country from dark forces. Now adults, Helena, Niamh, Elle & Leonie are all on very different paths but an apocalyptic prophecy sees them having to come together to protect the sisterhood and their country.
I love witchy stories so when I seen Sarah's (@travelseatsreads) review of this one I knew I had to pick it up. Thankfully it didn't disappoint - I absolutely loved it!
The lack of major plot developments in the first half is balanced by the development of characters relationships and the world building that's necessary for it being the first in a trilogy of fantasy books. Having said that, even from the start I was fully immersed!
So many social and cultural issues were tackled within the story (feminism, race, LGBT rights, misogyny, sexism to name a few) but never in a way that it felt out of place or forced.
That ending though!! I'll 100% be ordering the second book when it comes out next year to find out what happens!
A really fun, enthralling witchy story with powerful and important messages at its core.
