The Shadow Cabinet

MORE PRAISE FOR HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL COVEN

'Superb and almost unbearably charming' THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'fast-paced and impossible to put down [...] over the course of the two books I started to think of the characters as new friends.' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

'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...Readers will be eager for the next instalment' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
