Sinossi
Tress vive su un'isoletta sperduta nel mezzo di un oceano color smeraldo, un oceano un po' diverso da quelli cui siamo abituati, fatto di spore piovute da una gigantesca luna. Costretta a rimanere sul suo scoglio di nerissima arenaria, Tress vi conduce un'esistenza tranquilla, costellata di piaceri semplici: collezionare le tazze che le portano marinai di passaggio provenienti da terre lontane e ascoltare le storie che racconta il suo amico Charlie. Almeno, questa è stata la sua vita fino al giorno in cui il padre di Charlie, il duca dell'isola, decide di partire con il figlio per trovargli una sposa, un viaggio che si conclude in modo del tutto inaspettato. È l'inizio di una pericolosa, entusiasmante avventura che Tress non avrebbe mai saputo nemmeno immaginare: imbarcatasi clandestinamente su una nave, deve riuscire a trovare la Fattucchiera del Mare Mezzanotte, navigando tra rotte infestate dai pirati e spore letali, su un mare in cui ogni singola goccia d'acqua potrebbe significare la morte. Ambientato nel cosmoverso condiviso con le "Cronache della Folgoluce" e "Mist- born", "Tress del Mare Smeraldo" era stato scritto da Sanderson solo per la moglie, che ha poi spinto lo scrittore a condividerlo con i lettori. "L'ho scritto senza vincoli di tempo, aspettative o limiti alla mia immaginazione" racconta l'autore, invitando tutti a "far parte della magia."

Recensioni
4.5/5 starsTress of the Emerald Sea was simply whimsical and wonderful. Starting the year 2023 with the first secret novel from The Year of Sanderson is the correct action for me. “Even small actions have consequences. And while we can often choose our actions, we rarely get to choose our conseque Leggi tutto
I was really hoping to love this but... it was okay.
“Our words, like our hearts, are weapons still hot from the forging, beating themselves into new shapes each time we swing them.” The first of brandon sanderson’s secret cosmere projects was everything for me. This story is truly unlike any other that brandon has created before, for so many reaso Leggi tutto
Check out my YouTube channel where I show my instant reactions upon finishing reading fantasy books. Going into this book, I was quite confident that it wasn't going to be for me. In general, I haven't really like the Brandon Sanderson one-off books in the past, and knowing that this book is more
A light-hearted, whimsical and refreshing take on the fairy tale genre- that for me evoked all the spirit and nostalgia of "The Princess Bride"(a film that I adore). Final Rating: 4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 "Simply delightful!" That's a good starting point. They perfectly encapsulate my experience with this book. It Leggi tutto
2024: The GraphicAudio adaptation is fantastic! The same actor who is voicing Wit in Stormlight is the narrator here. He’s doing a great job and you‘ve got to love consistency like that. 2023: This was just as wonderful, delightful, and enchanting as I’d hoped; especially the humourous, whimsical ton Leggi tutto

3.5 stars! I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand I really liked the premise of the book, but on the other hand the pacing was inconsistent and the plot dragged at times. The pacing was slow for most of the book until the end. The world building was great, the idea of an ocean of spores
Tress of the Emerald Sea is a whimsical, earnest, and surprisingly crustacean-free surprise novel from Sanderson’s record-breaking Kickstarter. It is also one of the best YA fantasy books I’ve read. Every aspect of the book feels balanced and rewarding. Tress is perfectly paced and compulsively read Leggi tutto
My complete review is published at Before We Go Blog . “One of the great tragedies of life is knowing how many people in the world are made to soar, paint, sing, or steer—except they never get the chance to find out.” Originally conceived as a personal gift for his wife, Brandon Sanderson has now gifte Leggi tutto
