Queen B was spectacular! I love Juno Dawson's writing and am fascinated by Anne Boleyn, so I was thrilled to read this. Queen B is an intricate and sapphic take on Anne Boleyn. In this novella, the seeds for magic and the society of witches as we know it in the "Her Majesty’s Royal Coven" trilogy are planted. Queen B is a compelling tale about the mysteries and questions that remain to this day about Anne Boleyn from her sexuality to whether she was a witch. Juno Dawson writes such crisp and meaningful sentences that pack a punch.  I love the HMRC series and this novella was fantastic to read while I wait for the third book in the trilogy. I would highly recommend Queen B to anyone and if you haven’t read the HMRC series then this is your time to start! 

Thank you to Juno Dawson, Penguin Group, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
