Yes indeed, 1 July already! <\/em>Which means I have a post up on Supernatural Underground<\/strong><\/a>, continuing my \u2013 broadly \u2013 \u201cband of brothers\u201d theme.<\/p>\n

Last month I segued from \u201cband\u201d to \u201cbromance\u201d, since the latter (I argued) is very often, if not always, a subset of the former. This month, I\u2019m shifting the spotlight from May\u2019s \u201cband of sisters\u201d<\/strong><\/a> to \u201ctrue sisterhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

From “found” sisterhood…<\/p><\/div>\n

By which I mean sisters as in family ties, rather than \u201cfound\u201d sisterhood, which is the territory of the \u201cband of sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n

…to “really & truly” sisters<\/p><\/div>\n

From Alice Hoffman\u2019s Practical Magic<\/em><\/strong>, to The Hunger Games<\/em><\/strong>, Kate Elliott\u2019s Cold Magic<\/em><\/strong> to Stephanie Garber\u2019s Caraval<\/em><\/strong>, I\u2019m celebrating the part sisters play in rocking the fantasy genre:<\/p>\n

Sister Acts: From the \u201cBand of Sisters\u201d to True Sisterhood<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Probably the only topical sister act I haven\u2019t mentioned is that of Sansa and Arya Stark in A Game of Thrones.<\/strong> (The book series is titled A Song of Ice and Fire<\/strong> but I think the TV title is pretty much ubiquitous now so I\u2019ll stick with that.) Nonetheless, I think they\u2019re the exception that proves the \u201crocking the fantasy genre\u201d rule. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
