"We covered the boy with a blanket and Astrid set his plank of wood (the one with the wheels) alongside him, tenderly tucking that in too. It had seemed special to him"
Yes, they just tucked a skateboard into bed. I laughed so hard. In their defense, they had never seen one before lol

Guide to the thread magic of the Kingdoms and Empires series by Jaclyn Moriarty
Colors of thread: | Name of thread/magic:
red and black | shadow thread/magic, dark magic
green and gold | binding thread, spellbinding
blue and silver | bright thread/magic, true magic
silly character names
My mom and I's favorite names in the Kingdoms and Empires series that we like to say out loud because they make us giggle:
Snatty Ra-Ra
Ronaldo C. Torrington
Jonathan J. Lanyard
These are true.
"Aunt Carrie rolled her eyes. "My point, Esther, is that I forbid you to say even one more time--" She paused and echoed my words angrily: "I'm just Esther.""

It’s pretty cool that magic works without the threads now. Kinda like how money used to have actual worth when it was gold coins but now we trust paper to certify wealth or whatever money is?
Bronte says that mages somehow learned how to do the spells without the actual thread—though they can see the thread in their minds!
I also think the thread itself only has powers if a mage with matching speciality uses it. Like a True Mage could never use Shadow Thread to do any kind of magic, because shadow thread can only do shadow magic and only if a Shadow Mage is using it.
