Book Review: Her Majesty's Royal Coven - Juno Dawson

This is a delightfully silly magical romp. Without getting too deep into the spoilers, it is the anti-Potter of books. Middle-aged, feminist, modern witches - drinking wine and kicking arse. And they're all out of wine.

I don't think it adds much new to the genre - bitchy witches bullying their peers hasn't changed since Mildred Hubble burnt her first cauldron. But this is done with such glee - and a decent undercurrent of rage - that it is worth reading. The plot isn't too taxing, the baddies chew a decent amount of scenery, and there's enough sex 'n' boozing to keep you entertained on a long flight.

Had me chuckling the whole way through and is paced to keep you flicking through the chapters.
