The Coven is reunited but broken…

Niamh is back from the dead … but she hasn’t come back alone. Elle mourns a son she never had. Ciara languishes in a prison for witches. And Leonie reels from a very unexpected surprise.

Five very different witches with one thing in common: they were unwittingly chosen by the dangerously charming Lucifer, the demon king of desire, to fulfil a dark prophecy.

But Lucifer has deadly offer for fledgling witch Theo: help him and her coven – her family – will be spared as the rest of humanity perishes in a hellish new reality. Save the ones she loves? Or save the world? The choice is hers…

The final confrontation between good and evil is about to commence in the spectacular conclusion to the insatiable Her Majesty’s Royal Coven.

Thank you Netgalley for an arc in return for my honest opinion.

OMG I loved this, it is the easiest 5 stars I have given in a long time. It took me ages to read because I slowed down to make it last longer. I loved all the characters and watch then develop into what was needed to save the world. Ciara is and will always be my favorite character in this series, even in her lows. I am sad that this is now over and I need to find a new series to obsess over.

Human Rites is the brilliant conclusion to the Her Majesty's Royal Coven series. It is a very satisfying ending that feels like an appropriate culmination of everything that's happened so far. It's not an easy ride for the characters we've grown to love, but it does feel very apt.

This is a fast-paced story full of high-stakes (world-ending stakes in fact) and lots of twists and turns. There were so many parts of what happened that I did not expect. I don't think I could've predicted half of what happened, but each shock and dramatic event led to an ending I loved.

Recommended for fans of the HMRC series. If you've enjoyed the first two books in this series, I think you'll enjoy the journey to the end.

It's always bittersweet to read the final book of a good series. This one is no exception, Juno Dawson is one hell of a writer and the world of HMRC is so rich and cinematic.
Human Rites is appropriately fast paced, given the imminent peril or favorite Witches are in, and picks up straight where it left us in The Shadow Cabinet and is full of surprises throughout. Some twists had me actually gasping and having to pause to collect my thoughts and absorb this new information. Such a ride.
As with all the books in this series (Queen B being the exception) it's full of 90s nostalgia, which as a 90s baby is so comforting and makes the characters even more relatable.
The way Juno has developed these characters from book 1 - 3 is in itself witchcraft. Genuinely some of the best characters arcs I've ever read.
I enjoyed every single second of reading this series and am genuinely left feeling bereft that it's all over. I really hope we see more of the HMRC world in the future, spin offs, side characters etc. Just give me a lifetimes worth of HMRC and I'll be happy!

Thank you to Harper Collins and Netgalley for the ARC of Human Rites. I have adored this series from the very beginning so having the chance to read and review the final installment of this trilogy made me so excited and THIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

The amount of crazy stuff that happens in this book makes it that much better. I love the blending of the modern world with magic and friendship. The characters are absolutely amazing and they are so funny that I giggled out loud on many occasions.

Completely perfect ending to a wonderful series that I will 100% reread one day. LOVED IT.
