Nothing Special

There is nothing wrong with this book, but there is nothing especially interesting or memorable about it either. It feels like it was written as a side project, which it was. It does get extra consideration since, like all Sanderson fantasy, it has a well thought out magic system instead of one that evolves to fit whatever corner the author writes themself into.

A fun, magical adventure to kick off the "Year of Sanderson"

This was a really fun, short novel. A bit of a romantic adventure, but with classic Sanderson world-building and quirky characters. You can certainly see some of the covid influences, from the fear of airborne spores to tablet communication devices. The plot is straightforward and told in an interesting style with a whimsical narrator that talks to the reader and frequently drops fascinating Cosmere links or foreshadows story events. Overall this was a good book and a great start to the year of Sanderson.

Review of 'Tress of the Emerald Sea' on 'Goodreads'

If you wish to become a storyteller, here is a hint: sell your labor, but not your mind.

The Year of Sanderson starts promptly with a new book releasing on January 1 and it's told from the perspective by Hoid! We are truly spoiled.

Lem might have been poor in the kind of currency that paid taxes. But he was downright wealthy when it came to the kind of currency that mattered.

Tress of the Emerald Sea is a Cosmere novel that requires no Cosmere knowledge, but like with all things Sanderson, if you know a little the implication in this book are plenty. On the whole this is a very lighthearted, whimsical fairytale. I wasn't in a rush to read the book but I found it very easy to read a chapter or five in a sitting.

Memories are fossils, the bones left by dead version of ourselves.
