On Supernatural Underground for July – Sister Acts
Yes indeed, 1 July already! Which means I have a post up on Supernatural Underground, continuing my – broadly – “band of brothers” theme.
Last month I segued from “band” to “bromance”, since the latter (I argued) is very often, if not always, a subset of the former. This month, I’m shifting the spotlight from May’s “band of sisters” to “true sisterhood.”
By which I mean sisters as in family ties, rather than “found” sisterhood, which is the territory of the “band of sisters.”
From Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, to The Hunger Games, Kate Elliott’s Cold Magic to Stephanie Garber’s Caraval, I’m celebrating the part sisters play in rocking the fantasy genre:
Sister Acts: From the “Band of Sisters” to True Sisterhood
Probably the only topical sister act I haven’t mentioned is that of Sansa and Arya Stark in A Game of Thrones. (The book series is titled A Song of Ice and Fire but I think the TV title is pretty much ubiquitous now so I’ll stick with that.) Nonetheless, I think they’re the exception that proves the “rocking the fantasy genre” rule. 😀
