Sisters’ Fate was easily one of my most anticipated titles of the year, and it does not disappoint! The ending is on the predictable side, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It starts immediately where Star Cursed left off, and I was still feeling that heartache! The relationship between Cate and Maura is more strained than ever, especially now that the war between witches and the Brotherhood is arising, since the sisters seem to be on the same side but favoring different methods. There’s also a sickness spreading through New London which will serve as the catalyst.I’m going to start with Finn, because he’s what I was most nervous and excited for in Sisters’ Fate. I couldn’t think of any resolution short of a miracle to fix what happened, but there is no magical solution. But things also aren’t as dire as they seem, which is good! Finn is smart and realizes that something is going on, but obviously he doesn’t know what. Cate doesn’t want any lies between them, and things just kind of go from there. As much as I wanted things to be all sunshine and rainbows, I was glad how things played out. It was more believable that way. There are some bumps along the way, but I’m happy with out it turned out for them.I continued to love to hate Maura. She is just so terrible and desperate! I felt really bad for her in Sisters’ Fate, but I was firmly on Cate’s side. Nothing will ever excuse what she did, but I liked how in the end both girls made an effort. Even if it was all for Tess rather than for each other. Maura’s fate, unfortunately, is one of things that I found entirely too predictable which kept me from absolutely loving this conclusion. I wasn’t as affected as I could have been, since I just felt like I was waiting around for it to happen.
I am always going to be a big fan of witches, friends. I’m a big sucker for magic in any form, but witches for me are it. I like natural magic especially, and the Cahill sisters–Cate, Maura, and Tess–all have some kind of it. Well, at least not the magic that requires blood and body parts and snake venom (although let’s be serious, those witches are fun, too). I’ve always been invested in The Cahill Witch Chronicles series by Jessica Spotswood for the witches and the alternate history, and SISTER’S FATE was a worthy conclusion to a dark, emotional series.I’ll try to avoid the spoilers, but things are not really looking awesome for the Cahill sisters, or the Sisterhood in general, at the beginning of SISTER’S FATE. Things are worse than ever between Cate and Maura, Finn has no memory of Cate or their feelings for one another, the Sisterhood is under new leadership, the Brotherhood is using an illness to turn the populace against witches, and hanging above everything, as ever, is the prophecy that one sister will kill another. Umm…EEP.One thing that Jessica Spotswood has been great at for this whole series is creating this dangerous, fraught atmosphere for the Cahill sisters and their fellow witches and friends. That is amped up in SISTER’S FATE. The new leader of the Sisterhood, Sister Inez, is all about vengeance and equality at any cost. She’s manipulative and devious. Her leadership is fracturing the Sisterhood, so Cate has that precarious situation to deal with. Outside of the Sisterhood, things are deteriorating rapidly as well. The Brotherhood is not as unified as before, but they are just as cruel.
