"What did you do that for?" I asked...
"What did you do that for?" I asked curiously.
"What?" he said, straightening up and wiping his face on his sleeve. He felt the split lip gingerly, wincing slightly.
"Offer to take that girl’s punishment for her. Do you know her?" I felt a certain diffidence about asking, but I really wanted to know what lay behind that quixotic gesture.
"I ken who she is. Havena spoken to her, though."
"Then why did you do it?" He shrugged, a movement that also made him wince.
"It would have shamed the lass, to be beaten in Hall. Easier for me."
"Easier?" I echoed incredulously, looking at his smashed face. He was probing his bruised ribs experimentally with his free hand, but looked up and gave me a one-sided grin.
"Aye. She’s verra young. She would ha’ been shamed before everyone as knows her, and it would take a long time to get over it. I’m sore, but no really damaged; I’ll get over it in a day or two."
"But why you?" I asked. He looked as though he thought this an odd question.
"Why not me?" he said.

SNOW LIKE ASHES News, Part One
WINTERIANS!!
So, while I’ve been busy moving across the country, SNOW LIKE ASHES has been busy being awesome! Exhibit A:
A review from School Library Journal!!
Gr 7 Up— In classic fantasy style, Meira is a feisty orphan girl with aspirations of being a soldier for her icy province, Winter, which has been enslaved by a neighboring territory. Her weapon of choice: the chakram, or throwing circle. Meira partners with her childhood playmate, an heir to the throne, in a quest to locate the broken locket that holds the magic for their province. Meira has romantic feelings for this young man, so she is startled when it becomes apparent that she will be used as a pawn to forge a marriage alliance with another territory. As the story unfolds, the history of the provinces is revealed, magic explained, and all is not as it seems. Although the story is derivative of many before it, the plot and writing are superlative, and fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone (Holt, 2012) and the like will not be disappointed.—Leah Krippner, Harlem High School, Machesney Park, IL
Did they seriously use the word superlative.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL
(look for Part Deux coming in 3…2…1…)
