I hoped these would have been answered, but unfortunately, we are left with no answers.
I say this with only having read the first of the mistborn Saga and now Tress, so if there are answers in other books, I'd love to know where to look :)
Outside of this I really enjoyed the book! I loved the characters in particular Fort and Hoid, and of course Huck.
There were quite a lot of funny moments but also moments that I could relate to!
Tress of the emerald sea is such a whimsical book, filled with adventure, finding oneself, overcoming fears and obstacles, and finding family in those who aren't related by blood.
Definitely worth picking up!

Such a cozy story. I enjoyed Hoid narration very much, he is absolutely funny.
3.5 stars. Loved: third person narrator who is also a character in the story, “Lemony Snicket” atmosphere, seamless world-building early on. Didn’t love: some of the “science” got confusing and distracting and I knew where it was going way too early.

Really enjoyed this whimsical, creative take on A Princess Bride-esque fairytale. Tress is relatable, easy to cheer for, and I adore her penchant for cups. Other highlights included the spore seas, Tress's parents, and the narration (give me all the witticisms, I'm a fan). This was my first Sanderson book in a long time and I found it a good place to start getting into his work (though I imagine it would be fun to read again once I've read more of the Cosmere). The only thing that left me unsatisfied was the ending, for some reason that I can't really figure out how to articulate. Despite my love for the fairytale genre, maybe I was just looking for a little more depth than it could offer.
