Reviews

MORE PRAISE FOR HER MAJESTYS 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 cauldrons 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 wont be able to put it down

Lana Harper, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PAYBACKS 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 calibratedA 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 doesnt grab you immediately, I dont know what to tell you

PASTE

Cleverly constructedan 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 heroines journeys to include all facets of heartbreak will savour the cut and thrust of this battle
