Robyn enjoyed all forms of dancing really, but she had a fondness for sparring with words, especially in an environment that leant itself to a less-bladed duel.

The hurt she always carried, like the weight of a mountain, grew heavier still and trickled through those cracks until it flooded to the surface before she could ever tamp it back down. Lock it back up. Stuff it full like a wardrobe that could never quite shut.

This sounds like a great read for kids and probably adults too, I know very little about how to save our bee populations.
When the school mishandles a bee swarm, Ben and his mother have a conversation about different ways to save the bees and how little things can make a big difference.

Something I really enjoyed doing with A Dance of Bow & Blade is gearing my media consumption toward my WIP. It's been great for both inspiration, mindset, & aesthetic! So, last night was Ladyhawke & I'm almost done Clash of Steel. Tonight is Pirates of the Caribbean & Treasure Island next on TBR!

14: #FebruaryWorldbuilders- The main one would be the Eastern Time Pools. They're like tide pools, but people reference them about anything that affects things like time and history.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders, let's talk about time shenanigans. Are there places or situations in your fictional world where time works differently? Do you have time loops, time dilation (sped up or slowed down), or time travel? Does your world branch into different timelines?

15: #FebruaryWorldbuilders- Each kingdom has its own ruler, mostly kings. The North, however, often acts more towards what the people want & need. The West is set up completely different than the other kingdoms. Their kingdom is much more community based in general with leaders rather than rulers.
Hey, #FebruaryWorldbuilders! This week is about laws and the legal/court system in your fictional worlds. Today's Q: Who makes the laws? Does your world have a king? A council? An all-powerful God rules directly or through somebody else? Is it total anarchy? Just a village elder?
