From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a rollicking, riveting tale set in the Cosmere universe–a standalone adventure perfect for fans of The Princess Bride.

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?

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

I've listened to many Sanderson books but this was first dramatized version and I don't know how I'll go back. The immersion is hypnotic and I did not want to stop listening. The story is incredible, whimsical, unique and rememberable. Every character is played out so well, kudos to everyone involved on this project. If you're on the fence about getting it, don't be just get it! You will not be disappointed in the dramatized version.

Loved it!

Fantastic, fun, and sincerely heartwarming! It's an excellent performance, and some of the best use of music and SFX I've seen in dramatized version so far.

Delightful, Start to Finish!

*There's some spoilers at the bottom of the review.

This is a great book! a must read for all of the Cosmier fans. I love the way that important are dropped on a whim.
There were a lot of good voice actors, especially Tress, but some were a little painful. Salay's actor didn't have any emotion and Crow's was only a little better.

*A little spoilers bellow



I would have really liked the voice of Huck to be different actor. It was easy to me to tell who Huck really was because they had the same voice. It made the reveal at the end not very much of a reveal at all and I'd have preferred to try to piece it together with the clues that were given.

Awesome story! Some voice actors didn't deliver though

The editing on this version is weird. The duration doesn't line up with the tracker. After chapter 8 somewhere near the dragon scene, audible thinks the story is done even though it will continue to play. This ends up where I can't save my place beyond this and have to fast forward via 30 second skips which is quite frustrating.

Great story and Narration, editing needs to be fixed

Wonderful full cast performance of a fantastical tale of a young woman’s subtle heroism with plenty of Wit and self discovery. Great word play and all out fun

Upbeat tale of adventure

Hoid as the narrator to this book is wonderful. The story is great and whimsical.

The familiar narrator for cosmere fans to amazing!

Coming off some 25-30 hour cosmere chunkers, this felt like a nice breezy stroll thru a green spore filled forest. Lighthearted in narration, Tress felt like a breath of fresh air after the dense politics and magic systems of Elantris. Onto the next!

Short and sweet
