By Brandon Sanderson

Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson brings us deeper into the Cosmere universe with a rollicking, riveting tale that will appeal to fans of 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?

“I absolutly loved this book and enjoyed it so much! I loved the surprises and the character growth even from the smallest of characters like laggart who even helps ann and has a gentel demeanor when she is trying to gundown the metal man. I even enjoyed learning about the spores and Tress understanding them. I felt extreamly satisfied with this book and can’t wait to read another brandon sanderson book. Good pick Jonathan!”

“I enjoyed his writing style and how one of the characters was the narrator of the story. Quite a few twists near the end that I didn’t expect but they did make sense. Some of the chapters I did find a bit slow and didn’t fully grasp where they were going.”

“It took some time to get into. For a while, I wasn’t quite sure where this story was headed; it just felt like the book was all wit and no plot. But once it got on its feet, the world and the characters grew on me. While the only other Sanderson I have read is The Way of Kings, I enjoyed the Cosmere references I understood, and am sure there are much more I did not. The “Rat” twist at the end really tied the book together for me, and makes me want to go back and catch some things I did not notice the first time.”

“I loved this book! It kept me engaged the entire time, I love this authors writing style, it was funny, cute and tugged at your heartstrings. I love how this book has a lot of foreshadowing, nothing seemed random or like it came as a secondhand thought. Sometimes books leave me feeling like the story is incomplete and I don’t feel that way with this book!”
