I liked the original concept of a world of spores. The characters were interesting. I like how the main characters have names and the rest were Doug’s. It was funny. Sometimes the story got a little preachy. For example, two pages explained irony and what to look for in irony. The story was fun to read overall.

I liked this book and I feel like Tress is much smarter than a lot of other typical main characters. The best part of the story is probably the narrator in my opinion. The ending has an intriguing twist although for me personally it left a little more to be desired. But, I still think it’s definitely worth the read!

I stared reading Tress while in the midsts of another great book only to not be able to put it to read the one I originally started. It’s really cute book a little predictable at times but that didn’t stop it from being enjoyable.

Witty, amusing, exciting… every chapter has you hooked for the next! Highly recommend this book to everyone, ever.

Excellent read. I couldn’t put it down. Read this in one day!

A whimsical tale told from the perspective of Hoid. Getting to know Hoid a little more through his narration is fun and builds up the curiosity of who Hoid is and his backstory. Tress is a delightful character that focuses on the good of humanity.

My goodness, Sanderson has done it again! Tress of the Emerald Sea provides everything I expected going in and more. Great world building, light humor, lovable characters, cool magic, and—of course—an amazing story. Then there was the art. My gosh, the art was GORGEOUS! This book is awesome, simple put. Truly awesome in its most literal definition. Just…WOW. Tress goes off on an adventure to save her loved one from the evil sorceress. On the way, she ends of with a pirate crew who (as a category) really don’t seem to be bad. Hoid plays a more prevalent role in this story than in most (arguably all) others, which I liked. And there was a dragon. Not really super important, but… there was still a dragon. Once again, the magic system was hard. I LOVED how I could totally understand how the spores worked. It was super cool! If you’re looking for a nice, faster (by Sanderson’s standards), happy, whimsical, read, than this is for you. It was beautiful.

Sanderson has another home run. This book is a fantastic read for the whole family.

Seriously. How is this character and his voice this good. Smart, quick, and a wonderful story. Please write a series of Hoids adventures…I beg you!
