This story sounds so inspiring: four women fighting to defend what is right. What makes the book even more interesting is how the four stories are set in different epochs of history.

The Sisterhood by Maisie Moon is a compelling collection of four interconnected short stories that blend historical fiction with elements of the supernatural. Spanning from medieval times to World War II, the narratives follow four courageous women—Sidonie, Angelique, Gertrude, and Siobhan—each bestowed with a divine gift of light energy to combat evil in their respective eras.
The book introduces readers to the "Daughters of Eve," women chosen across centuries to inherit ancestral powers during the Summer Solstice. Each story delves into the unique challenges faced by these heroines.
Each narrative not only showcases the protagonists' supernatural battles but also highlights their resilience against societal constraints of their times.
For readers interested in historical fiction enriched with supernatural elements and strong female leads, The Sisterhood offers a captivating journey through time. Each story stands on its own while contributing to a larger narrative of empowerment and the enduring fight against evil.

I enjoyed the preview to the book "The Sisterhood". I've never read andy of this authors stories before so I kind of felt like I was just dropped in. However, I really like the characters and the idea of a girl in a giant ballgown running around with a sword strapped to her is always awesome.

I'm glad to have gotten a chance to read the preview. I'm kind of excited to read the rest.

Four short stories that follow four remarkable women at different eras would certainly catch my attention as I do not love spineless, damsel-in-distress heroin/female leads.
"The Sisterhood" by Maisie Moon is a historical fiction that tells of the strength of faith, courage and bravery. The review had such high praise for the book, and I love it all.

Reading The Sisterhood felt like sitting with old friends, listening to their secrets unfold. I was especially drawn to Evie—her resilience and quiet strength reminded me so much of someone close to me who's been through something similar. And Lillian, with all her fire and stubbornness, made me reflect on how protective we can be when it comes to the people we love. The bond between the women wasn’t just moving—it felt real. It made me think about my own friendships and the hidden layers we carry with us.

This is a wonderfully enthusiastic and insightful review of Maisie Moon's The Sisterhood! It's clear you were deeply moved by the stories and the characters, particularly Sidonie Dupont.
Your review does an excellent job of highlighting what makes this book special: the courage of the protagonists, the accurate portrayal of historical challenges faced by women, and the timeless themes of faith and connection. It's great to hear that the pacing and dialogue were seamless, contributing to such an engaging read.
It's particularly impactful that you found no real negatives and that the book was "error-free"—that speaks volumes about the author's attention to detail and craftsmanship. Your 5-star rating and eagerness for more from Maisie Moon are the best endorsements an author can receive.
It sounds like The Sisterhood is a book that not only entertains but also inspires and resonates on a deeper level, especially for readers interested in strong female characters and historical fiction that sheds light on women's experiences throughout time.

I am a bit confused, because seeing Historical Fiction indicated as a genre, I was expecting those stories to be based on actual documentary history, but mention of satanic sacrifice, demonic possession and powerful artifacts makes me wonder if it's pure fiction. Nonetheless, I am interested, and the short story format doesn't bother me, so thank you for the recommendation and congratulations on BOTD!

This sounds like an inspiring book for women and girls. It's also interesting that there are some supernatural elements. I like the fact that each of the stories takes place at different points in history, showing the progression of women's rights. I also appreciate the way each of the protagonists took a stand for what was right, even when it was dangerous to get involved. I am definitely intrigued by this collection of stories.

Thank you for your review.
