The Sisterhood by Maisie Moon is a historical fiction that consists of four short stories that follow four incredible women known as the Daughters of Eve. The stories are set in four different eras in time.

In the first story, which is set in 1307, Sidonie Dupont, the leader of the sisterhood, must work to stop the satanic sacrifice of a young woman named Sara. The next is set in 16th-century France. Angelique escapes her abusive husband and awakens her powers. Now she must save her daughter from demonic possession. The third story sees Gertrude O'Brien inherit a chest containing powerful artifacts. She also awakens her magical gifts and works to help the workhouse she works for. The final story is set in the heat of World War 2, where Siobhan, an Irish mother of eight, bravely confronts an Irish traitor and rescues a downed British pilot.

This book was very inspiring in my opinion. I found each character's courage very remarkable, given the adversities they faced. The author did an excellent job of highlighting the unique challenges faced by women across different eras, from women basically being property in 1307 to the marital laws of 16th-century France. The stand-out part of this book had to be Sidonie's story. Her bravery and strength made her easily my favorite character. I also appreciated the timeless bond these women had through their devotion to their faith and their gift of light. The dialogue was seamless and easy to follow, and the pacing was excellent, as the book never dragged on at any point. Overall it was a great read, and I am looking forward to what next the author has in store. I did not notice any real negative issues with the book. The fact that this book had no errors was also an added advantage.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It was a very engaging and inspiring read.
