After the dramatic events of Her Majesty's Royal Coven, the witches have some clean up to do. However, not all is well or as it seems. Ciara has taken over her sister's body, a powerful warlock seeks a powerful artifact and witchfinders are on the hunt.
- Due to a slight change in the character line up, we get to see some new perspectives in this book and I enjoyed that. We also got to see changes and growth in the previous characters and how they react to new situations.
- Although not a major part of the book, I enjoyed the foreign parts and seeing different witches from parts of Europe. Also the Greek legend reference was amazing and I hope it is revisited.
- The book does suffer from second book syndrome a little. There's continuation from HMRC and set up for book three and although okay to read, you don't get the pay off just yet.
A worthy sequel and exciting set up for Human Rites, book three in the series. I also hear rumours of a novella within the HMRC universe which I am so excited for.
