At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls—Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle—took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC.

Tedious
Revisado: 07-25-24
Way too many words spent describing aspects of worldbuilding and not enough spent developing meaningful characters or relationships. There’s no need to describe every spell or list every ingredient in every ritual.

Historia1.5 out of 5 stars 3
The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword. If princes fought for their succession to crowns, the princesses were traded—usually by their mothers—to strangers for political power without the bloodshed.

What women?
Revisado: 10-12-23
A book titled to be about women, and mostly all the author could talk about is what the men were doing. Where the women are discussed, it’s almost entirely to list their marriages, births, and deaths, as if they accomplished nothing else throughout their lives, and had no other thoughts or functions. Very disappointing.

Historia3 out of 5 stars 10
The Forty Elephants were unique in the annals of British crime. Known also as the Forty Thieves, they were the country's only all-female crime syndicate, a gang of tough but glamorous young women who plundered the fashion stores and jewel shops of the West End, took their lovers from the among London's most notorious gangsters, and terrorised their rivals, male and female alike. Their roots lay with the Elephant Gang, a band of highwaymen who once haunted the Elephant and Castle coaching inn south of the Thames and whose reputation descended through generations of cutthroats.

Boring and dry
Revisado: 02-08-23
While information on the various people involved in this gang is doubtless very slim, that makes it all the more imperative to try to humanize them. The seemingly endless litany of details extracted from public records made for very boring listening.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 144
Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its development from single notes to multilayered orchestration can seem bewilderingly complex. In his dynamic tour through forty thousand years of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop, Howard Goodall leads us through the story of music as it happened, idea by idea, so that each musical innovation—harmony, notation, sung theater, the orchestra, dance music, recording—strikes us with its original force.

For the novice
Revisado: 01-24-20
This book is clearly meant for the person who knows very little about musical history. This is not a fault. The history is clearly laid out and the author constantly draws connections between the historical goings-on and modern events and people that shows both his respect for the material and his respect for the audience.
