I loved this book, and the audio narration. I finished it and immediately wanted to relisten to it right away. Queen B is a sapphic adventure story about the coven of witches around Anne Boleyn in the time leading up to and immediately following her execution. It's especially timely for fans of My Lady Jane and also of the play, Emilia. The balance of new and familiar figures from Henry VIII's court is great, but doesn't impact the story if the history is unfamiliar. It's pacy and full of energy. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast paced adventure fiction/fantasy.
Thank you to Juno Dawson and NetGalley for the free ALC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fine tale and I understood why Dawson wanted to write it in terms of adding to the HMRC lore but, sadly it didn't really add much for me and, in comparison to the first two books in the series, this felt more like a slog. I hoped to find something redeeming but for the most part, my most enjoyable part of this book was that it was more of a novella than a full story.
The writing, as always, was impeccable but it lacked something that can usually be found in a Dawson book.
