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.”

From “found” sisterhood…

By which I mean sisters as in family ties, rather than “found” sisterhood, which is the territory of the “band of sisters.”

…to “really & truly” 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. 😀
