Tress of the Emerald Sea is one of Brandon Sanderson’s secret novels, written during the pandemic and released independently of his major Cosmere series. It is a fairy tale style adventure inspired in part by The Princess Bride, with a heroine who sets out across a dangerous world of spores to rescue her childhood love.
Lighter and warmer than Sanderson’s epic fantasy work. Easy to recommend even to readers who do not usually like fantasy.
