#wordWeavers 3/28: when was the last time your MC got excited about something?

Unless you count being amused by giving a jar of slugs to the tavernkeeper.

At the end of part 2. She escapes from deathly peril and, together with her friends, decides to sail to the Southlands where she hopes to find a solution for their problem. It is a dangerous journey, not many have tried it, and none came back. It will be a large part of part/book 3.

Maeve, to apprentices gathered around a boat's backbone, “In boatbuilding, there’s a saying that the baton never lies. Sometimes the plans do, sometimes our intuition does, but when we put our baton to the wood, that’s the test of fairing. We respect and trust it."
