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?

My Review: "Tress of the Emerald Sea" by Brandon Sanderson is a fantastical coming of age adventure where a young woman, Tress, makes the difficult choice to leave the only home she's ever known to find a friend who has been taken captive by a Sorceress. Set in the Cosmeres universe this tale allows the narrator to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the reader. The narrator weaves both adventure and whimsy into the tale he unfolds on the pages of the novel and pulls the reader into the story almost as if they are a participant, instead of an observer. The world created is familiar enough to be relatable but alien enough to be clearly a different planet. There's plenty of hidden foreshadowing of what will unfold, but it's cleverly woven into the tale that you may miss it until the connection are mage on the page. Great for science fiction and fantasy readers alike, fans of "The Princess Pride", in particular, will find the tale to their liking.
