While I’ve read quite a few of Brandon Sanderson’s works (Mistborn Trilogy, Stormlight Archive, and Warbreaker), the first novel from his infamous “Surprise! Four Secret Novels” Kickstarter – Tress of the Emerald Sea – was quite a surprise. And in all of the best ways!

Tress of the Emerald Sea is the first of Sanderson’s novels that I’ve read that I would say sits somewhere in the Middle Grade/Young Adult fiction realm. It took me a little bit to get used to the idea of it seeming to be geared more toward that age group, because despite the fact that it had been released as an eBook prior to my receiving my first Kickstarter package (and the fact that said package sat on my desk for at least a month before I had time to start reading this book), I hadn’t looked up any comments or reviews beforehand.

But honestly, I’m glad I let myself be surprised, because I quickly got over my initial skepticism and became engrossed in Tress’s tale.
