Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had no idea what to expect from this book. I had never read a Sanderson book and had heard amazing things about him. I also knew that this particular title was not Sanderson’s usual fare.
I really enjoyed it for the most part. It did remind me a lot of The Prince’s Bride, a movie (not so much the book, I’m afraid) I absolutely adore. Quirky, nonsensical, funny, and totally “out there”. My kind of humor.
I thought it went on a bit too long, but other than that, I truly enjoyed it. After reading quite a few very serious and heavy fantasies, this was the perfect palate cleanser. Tress was a great character and so was the Rat and the rest of the crew.
And the funniest and best one-liners ever! I wish I had thought of writing them down.
