I love getting my hands on the finale of a series, the delicious delight of finding out how things are wrapped up, who lives and dies and loves happily ever after; this is quickly followed by the I miss (list of favorite main characters) already and that's before I even look past the cover. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two plus (the prequel novella) books of this series, so I had been looking forward to this conclusion. From the initial title reveal, I wondered if it was a nod to the late great Terry Pratchett (since the first Discworld witches book is titled Equal Rites), and the epigraph of this book makes it more clear. Passed the epigraph, we get a refresher of who's who, much as in The Shadow Cabinet. And, the story starts (as usual) with a flashback chapter, then picks up where the prior book left off. In this action packed drama we deal with sibling rivalry, romantic relationships lost and found, friends that will support each other through anything, more bigger magic, pregnancy, and a power grab by the devil. This book delivers a fitting conclusion for the five main characters and any reader who has become invested in their trials and tribulations. Anyone waiting to read a complete series full of irreverent humor, magic, and heart, welcome to Her Majesty's Royal Coven.
I received access to this eARC thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, PENGUIN GROUP - Viking Penguin) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
