#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson expands his Cosmere universe shared by The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn with a new standalone novel for everyone who loved The Princess Bride.
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?
Note from Brandon:
I started writing this in secret, as a novel just for my wife. She urged me to share it with the world??and alongside three other secret novels, with the support of readers worldwide it grew into the biggest Kickstarter campaign of all time. I'm excited to present this first book to you at last: a different type of Brandon Sanderson story, one I wrote when there were no time constraints, no expectations, and no limits on my imagination. Come be part of the magic.… (mehr)
A window washer goes to sea to rescue her boyfriend. High-seas adventure, fantasy worldbuilding, and heaps of whimsy. Even though the bones of the story are standard fairytale stuff, it's a weird, completely unique book. The only negative feeling I have about it is a little frustration that, since it's very tied-in to several Cosmere series, it's not particularly suited to give as a gift.
This had TJ Klune vibes all over it. I enjoyed the story and the main character that you just had to cheer for her. I also didn't see it that the rat was actually Charles. Cute twist I didn't see coming. Maybe it was because I listened to it, but I feel like the ship just kind of went on and on. Overall, it was a great story and I toyed back and forth whether this was 3.5 or 4 starts. Maybe 3.75. It was enjoyable and I glad I listened to it. But I like TJ Klune better. This did feel like woman power and a great story that your life experiences change you as a person. Even in the beginning when she was hesitant about leaving the rock. But in the end, she couldn't go back there because she wasn't the same person. Maybe some day I'll sit down and read this. But I think this is YA or if it's not, it could be. There was also some cute humor thrown in here, again, really reminding me of TJ Klune. ( )
This feels like cozy fantasy done well. There are stakes and perils but you feel like you're in safe hands the entire time. This was my first Sanderson book and I liked it quite a bit, but it wasn't what I was expecting from him - and maybe that's just this book. ( )
I enjoyed this a little bit more than Yumi but did get a bit bogged down in the middle. As usual I enjoy Sanderson's books but without ever being wowed by them. ( )

Empathy is an emotional loss leader. It pays for itself eventually.
Nature is supposed to announce herself before murdering you. It’s only sporting.
Unfortunately, sympathy is not a valve, to be turned off when it starts to flood the yard. Indeed, the path to a life without empathy is a long and painful one, full of bartered humanity sold at a steep discount.
But for humans at large, knowledge usually equates to empathy, and empathy leads to understanding.

Assuming you imagine it as emerald green, made up of spores, and bearing endless possibilities.
