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?

Amazing Cosmere Story
Reviewed: 10-28-24
This story is a masterpiece in world building, foreshadowing, and payoff. Each element that gets introduced usually gets some kind of payoff later and it's wonderful. The story stands alone, but is even more fun if you have several Cosmere novels under your belt. Especially knowing WHO the narrator is, it makes it more fun and enjoyable to listen to his often wise or humorous off-comments.
The production and voice team did an amazing job of performing and mixing together the audio and sound together. It was so cool to hear a door open, or a ship bump a dock, rather than the narrator say "the door opened" or the "ship bumped the dock". I enjoyed every minute of listening to this book and production. Well done!

Your God is too small. We like God small. We prefer a God who is safe, domesticated, who thinks like we think, likes what we like, and whom we can manage, predict, and control. A small God is convenient. Practical. Manageable. The truth: God is big. Bigger than big. Bigger than all the words we use to say big. Ironically, many today seem turned off by the concept of an awesome, terrifyingly great God. We assume that a God you would need to fear is guilty of some kind of fault. For us, thinking of God as so infinitely greater and wiser than we are and who would cause us to tremble in his presence is a leftover relic.

This book was exactly what I needed right now. The reading performance was fantastic. The book helped me be more comfortable with my questions and provided lots of ideas for thought, reflection, and for renewing my faith our BIG God. Please, excuse me while I go listen to it again.
