Resumen del Editor

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson expands his Cosmere universe shared by The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn with a new standalone novel for everyone who loved The Princess Bride. Narrated by Michael Kramer.

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?

Note from Brandon:

I started writing this in secret, as a novel just for my wife. She urged me to share it with the world—and alongside three other secret novels, with the support of readers worldwide it grew into the biggest Kickstarter campaign of all time. I’m excited to present this first book to you at last: a different type of Brandon Sanderson story, one I wrote when there were no time constraints, no expectations, and no limits on my imagination. Come be part of the magic.

A new favorite!

I cant wait for more. This is easily one of Brandon Sandersons bests works. He finally tones down the his classic overexplinations. I love experiencing a story with characters that behave like people. He has a bad habit of over explaining simple cause and affect. Or there decisions of why and why not. It finally goes away in this title. What your left with is his amazing and unique takes on sci fi blended with fantasy.

an entire book voiced by Hoid!

this was just everything I needed. a feel good adventure and ultimately a romance that just makes ypu feel warm and happy. the story is told by Hoid which obviously adds a wonderful brand of humor you didn't know your life was missing. this will definitely be a comfort re-read and is a lovely addition to the cosmere :)

What a fun book! Wow!

This book takes what I already love in a Sanderson novel (stunning world building, lovable characters, gripping plots, etc.) and adds a free, even whimsical, tone that I couldn't get enough of. This is really something special!

Whit does it again!

It’s an entire story as told by Hoid. What more do you want? 567/567

Whimsical

I loved the whimsical tone. I enjoyed how characters from other worlds showed up - it ties well into the Cosmere.

Epic Journey

This was such a fun read with so many fun twists and turns! I am stoked to get more armor Wit in the future!

So wonderful

I’ve loved all of Brandon’s books. This is my favorite. Terry Pratchett vibes for sure. Swashbuckling, stylish and beautifully written with plenty of humor. 10/10

A breath of fresh air

This story takes a more colorful and dramatic approach to Sanderson’s usual style, and expands on it in a playful way through the eyes of the Cosmere’s favorite storyteller.

Definitely made me laugh uproariously on multiple occasions throughout the story, which earned me many stares as I was in a public location for most of my listening experience.

Hilarious and Charming

This was one of the most fun listens of Brandon Sanderson's works. I haven't had so many laughs since his rebuttal chapter from the Squanto stand in in the Wax and Wayne series. it's filled with whimsical wordplay and sideways turns rounding out with a found family, their own voice, and a new way to live their lives.

Great story!

Buttercup to the rescue! A happy adventure, engaging characters and thoughtful writing. I loved it!
