Corollary #MSWL: a sense of place so deep & distinct that the setting feels like a character unto itself. (I LOVE great #SFF worldbuilding.)#MSWL: colonization/decolonization from unexpected perspectives. Show me that assimilation & oppression aren't inevitable, & can be overcome

LET YOUR DRAGONS GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL. THEY HAVE GOALS AND DREAMS TOO. twitter.com/TomMcHobo/stat…#MSWL! Books about dragon school (school for dragons, not school for humans working with dragons)—why can't dragons have their own Hogwarts?
