As someone obsessed with Tudor London, this was the perfect instalment to one of my favourite witchy series. It is 1536 and the Queen has been beheaded - Lady Grace Fairfax knows the coven has been betrayed… King Henry VIII has set witchfinders after the coven and a new advisor is trying to wipe out witch-kind all together… Fast paced and full of Juno’s humour, this book really was a joy to read. I really could not put this one down and was reading while walking home… Super excited for book 3! Thank you Harper Collins for an early e-copy… Absolutely loved this and need the physical book to reread and treasure (Cannot wait for the illustrations also)

This was a lovely novel on love, sisterhood and feminism full of tenderness and understanding. The use of language was perfect for setting the mood. I enjoyed every last bit of it.

While novellas are not usually my things, everything HMRC related is a must read to me. I loved HMRC and The Shadow Cabinet so much, I would have read Queen B no matter what. And let me tell you it did not disappoint! It had everything I hoped and more. Juno Dawson's writing is bewitching. Her characters are always so perfectly flawed you always end up loving them so damn much. Isn't it right Grace? Cecilia? And of course, Anne.. It felt really great to learn more about Coven's history in the 1500 and I honestly longed for more. I would be willing to read more books about other significant time period or characters and I couldn't recommend enough this rich world Queen J created. I cannot wait to receive my physical copy now (especially since Waterstones came out with this beautiful special edition - I already owned The Shadow Cabinet one so it will match perfectly!)

It was my favourite in this series as it's a different take on the story of Ann Boleyn and how she was crashed by power. Well plotted, gripping, twisty, and entertaining. Well Done. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I absolutely adored this novella! Juno Dawson's expansion of the HMRC series into the Tudor era, with Anne Boleyn at the helm of a burgeoning coven, adds a thrilling dimension to the already fantastic series. Navigating a perilous time for witches, Dawson masterfully intertwines historical intrigue with supernatural elements. The characters are wonderfully crafted, each with their own complexities and motivations. I particularly enjoyed the narrative's exploration of Anne Boleyn's journey, as well as the clever use of multiple timelines, which provided rich context and allowed for a deeper understanding of the events unfolding. For fans of Juno Dawson's previous works, this novella is an absolute must-read. It stays true to Dawson's signature style of captivating storytelling, leaving readers eagerly anticipating more from this talented author. I, for one, am eagerly awaiting future installments in this captivating fantasy series.
