Human Rites

MORE PRAISE FOR HER MAJESTY’S 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 cauldron’s 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 won’t be able to put it down’

Lana Harper, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PAYBACK’S 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 calibrated…A 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 doesn’t grab you immediately, I don’t know what to tell you’’

PASTE

‘Cleverly constructed…an 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 heroine’s journeys to include all facets of heartbreak will savour the cut and thrust of this battle’
