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.

The amount of mental gymnastics needed to pretend this vailed love letter to JK Rowling is trans positive media is staggering.

At no point in the book do we get a trans perspective that hasn't been filtered through a cis characters perspective. There's no point in this book where we are engaging with Theo outside of her being trans.
the book spends 25% of it's chapters hanging out in the head of a racist transphobe, another 75% of chapters in the heads of people who continue up to the very end to enable and singing the praises of that transphobe, even though one of the 4 main characters is a black gay woman who has been directly harmed by said transphobe racist policies and past actions. The reader never really gets to meet the Trans character and it honestly feels like She's little more than a abused lgbtq kid stereotype, and she doesn't really do anything outside of just being trans.
the book seems to really want to argue to the reader that trans people should be allowed to exist, but at the same time never gives the trans character in the book any room to exist herself outside of her plot device status. this honestly makes the insistence of trans personhood in the book feel a bit hollow, and clunky.

As the battle rages, the First Amendment right of freedom of speech that protects people’s right to say unpopular things without government interference and the right to refuse to say things the government wants said is being called into question. The minority group argues that it is their right to “self-identify” as whatever they wish in order to accommodate their thoughts and feelings instead of accepting their bodily realities, thereby defying biological design in the process.

this book is meant to other trans people and argues against their human rights to life, and privacy. It's hateful and flagrant. the fact that this was in the LGBTQ+ section is repulsive.
it is a religious christian book that treats trans people as less than human.
please remove it from the LGBTQ tag. it is not an LGBTQ book but a religious hate book.
