Emily V said: " 4.5 stars! I wasn’t as engaged and it took me a lot longer to finish this book - towards the end I just wasn’t intrigued to pick it up, however important details were revealed and I am excited for the third instalment. "

Emily’s Quotes

“It might seem that the person who can feel for others is doomed in life. Isn’t one person’s pain enough? Why must a person like Tress feel for two, or more? Yet I’ve found that the people who are the happiest are the ones who learn best how to feel. It takes practice, you know. Effort. And those who (late in life) have been feeling for two, three, or a thousand different people…well, turns out they’ve had a leg up on everyone else all along. Empathy is an emotional loss leader. It pays for itself eventually.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
