MORE PRAISE FOR HER MAJESTY’S ROYAL COVEN ‘Superb and almost
unbearably charming’
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ‘Talk about a gut punch of a novel.
…A provocative exploration of intersectional feminism, loyalty,
gender and transphobia [that] invites readers into an intricately
woven web of magic, friendship, and power’
THE NERD DAILY ‘A shimmering, irresistible cauldron’s brew of my
favourite things: a thrilling, witchy plot; a diverse, compelling,
and beautifully drawn cast; complex relationships with real heart;
laugh-out-loud banter; and the kind of dazzling magic I wish
existed. You won’t be able to put it down’
Lana Harper, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PAYBACK’S A WITCH
‘Dawson, in an impressive flex, uses the rules of the fantasy genre
to make a statement about people of colour and LGBTQ individuals
and how organizations can exclude and ignore them. Readers who
enjoy witches and watching change ripple through a culture will
enjoy this series’
BOOKLIST (starred) ‘Dawson's conversational, matter-of-fact tone
calls to mind writers like Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones; it's
at times funny, at others heartbreaking, but always perfectly
calibrated…A thoughtful entry into the witch canon that intrigues
and challenges as much as it delights’
BOOKPAGE ‘Look, if the idea of a story about a group of girls
living in an alternate England and working for a centuries-old
secret government bureau of witches doesn’t grab you immediately, I
don’t know what to tell you’’
PASTE ‘Cleverly constructed…an exciting new direction for Dawson.
Readers will be eager for the next instalment’
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘Readers who love a big fight between good and
evil, who enjoy seeing magic in the everyday world, and those who
like their heroine’s journeys to include all facets of heartbreak
will savour the cut and thrust of this battle’
