Her Majesty's Royal Coven

“Ladies, gentlemen and those wise enough to transcend the binary”

This is gonna be a book I will be thinking about for a long time. Not only is the plot, for me, engaging and exciting, but the messages woven throughout the book are important. First of all the best part of this book is that there are CHAPTER TITLES! and we get multi pov with a label at the start of each chapter. You don't understand how nice it is to know what is going on xD I would like to see more povs aside from the 4 characters we saw in this book, but I understand the choice not to for this book.

The magic system in this book is so very interesting and I hope we get more of it in the sequel. If I was to be in a fantasy universe of my choosing it would probably be this one. I loved all of the characters, apart from Helena of course - she I hate. They were all unique in their own way and had their own faults. The book is written in a unique way that I think would translate to a movie or tv show very well. All the scenes and flashbacks are perfectly placed and I think it would do really well. Also the pop culture references woven throughout the book were so cool and I enjoyed finding them. I know some people found them clich?? but it was something I enjoyed out of it.

As for the social commentary, I can understand why certain demographics are not as fond of the book as I am as it is quite triggering and hard to read even for me. Some people have made valid points about how things were approached and I have to agree with them. I feel like it can be improved upon and I hope that Dawson does in the next book.

That being said, this book chewed me up and spat me out, I enjoyed it so much and there were so many jaw dropping bits, especially at the end. I am absolutely shocked at the ending. Like wtf???
