Her Majesty's Royal Coven Book 1

If “Sex and the City” were set in Stars Hollow and you added a dash of magic! I love everything about this series. It’s filled with queerness, intersectional feminism and complex characters. At its core “Her Majesty’s Royal Coven” is a book about a secret society of witches in the UK. But on a second look it’s sooo much more. It’s about a group of childhood girlfriends who’ve grown apart over the years and we enter their life at a time when their differences lead to consequences and the tension between them escalates. I especially love that the main protagonists of this book are all middle-aged women—men play little to no part in this story which was very refreshing. The “victim” in this first instalment is a young trans girl, while the main “villain” is a TERF. What starts as suspicion and worry downspirals very quickly and dramatically to transphobia that makes her paranoid to no end. It was a bit healing to read a witch book like that, not going to lie.

A great queer Urban-Fantasy story that has you hooked from the beginning! The characters are multifacetted and grow close to your heart in no time. I rellay enjoyed the diverse cast and the story about modern witches.

Fast alle aktuellen Themen in einem spannenden und gut erzählten Fantasy Roman mit Figuren zu denen man eine Beziehung aufbauen kann die auch für eine Trilogie trägt. Wer keine Cliffhanger mag sollte das letzte Kapitel nicht lesen bevor der nächste Band erscheint.
