Crestfallen and disheveled, Tress sets off on a mission to rescue Charlie but first she may have a run in with cargo ships, merchants, pirates, and a dragon that lives beneath the sea. Tress learns that the Duke has sold his son to a Sorcerees on a faroff island in the Midnight Sea. Tress doesn’t have a care in the world and life could not be any simpler until one day it all changes. She goes about her day doing her choirs and talking to the Duke’s son Charlie. Tress lives on an island and is a collector of cups. Told in a whimsical and fun tone that fans of the Cosmere will be sure to love, but you do not need any background in the Cosmere to pick up and enjoy this work. The story is narrated by our good old friend Hoid. Inspired by The Princess Bride, this novel opens the scope of what worldbuilding and imagination can bring while compiling together an engaging adventure story. Tress of the Emeralds Sea is the first of these novels set to be released in 2023 and wow is this worth the wait. During the pandemic, Brandon Sanderson surprised us all by writing not one, not two, but four novels without anyone seeming to know what was going on. I recieved a copy this book early as supported the Kickstarter.
