It's meant to be something more like the Princess Bride. This slightly fairy tale vibe is intentional, but the author doesn't personally consider it to be a children's book. Though the story isn't about him, he has a role to play in it, and readers will find out why he's there through the course of the book. He takes a few liberties in the narrative, but mostly, this is canon. Meaning, Tress is a real person from the cosmere, and her world is an actual place: neither are Hoid inventions.

In this case (unlike some of his stories), he's chronicling actual events in the cosmere. That said, this isn't written to the reader, but is instead meant to be him telling the story to someone in the cosmere listening. Readers might be able to pick up some of the context of who he's talking to, but it's not meant to be explicitly obvious. Hoid is telling the story in- world to someone. Tress of the Emerald Sea is a novel-length story written in Hoid/Wit's voice - not unlike The Dog And The Dragon or Derethil and the Wandersail - except 100,000 words long. 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.The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Edgedancer, Oathbringer, Dawnshard, Rhythm of War 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. #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson expands his Cosmere universe shared by The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn with a new standalone novel for everyone who loved The Princess Bride.

I’m excited to present this first book to you at last: a different type of Brandon Sanderson story, one I wrote when there were no time constraints, no expectations, and no limits on my imagination.

Note from Brandon: I started writing this in secret, as a novel just for my wife. A perfect introduction to Brandon's work, and a delightful story in the tradition of the Princess Bride, Good Omens, and Stardust. Experience one of the books that launched the biggest kickstarter of all time.
