On March 3, 2022, Brandon released the first five chapters along with some brief commentary, which can be read on his website and listened to on his YouTube channel. It is a cosmere novel set on a new world, with the "craziest worldbuilding" of the four secret projects. This was followed by a standard publishing release on April 4, 2023. It was released in January of that year as part of a Kickstarter Campaign. Tress of the Emerald Sea was the first of the secret projects released in 2023. Unlike other Hoid stories which tend towards more fanciful, Tress' adventures reflect real-world cosmere events that occurred, though the tale still includes artistic liberties added by Hoid as part of his storytelling style. It chronicles the journey of Tress as she travels the world of Lumar to rescue her beloved, Charlie, after he is kidnapped by the Sorceress. Tress of the Emerald Sea is a stand alone cosmere novel, told as an in-world story by Hoid. This page or section contains spoilers for Tress of the Emerald Sea!

Their astounding hypocrisy is evidence of a more sinister intention, I believe. Is it not ironic that the same people who claim the American workforce is racist and that black Americans have a harder time securing jobs and moving up the corporate ladder would at the same time do all they can to prevent workplace preparedness by advocating against the best available paths for education? It is too often the case that those with the loudest voices against school choice are the very same Democrats who send their own kids to private schools. It is even more unfathomable that liberals would ask them to. “It is unfathomable that black parents would continue to put their children’s future at risk by pledging allegiance to abysmal public schools when the option to drastically improve their educational circumstances sits before them.

It had a few dull moments but overall I enjoyed it, mostly for the girly dating chit chats lol The subtlety of the first installment was lost here. I just found this one to be alot more tedious, and the "messages" were kind of force fed down my throat and I noticed. I don't know, I was quite charmed with the first book - true, it wasn't remarkable but it was cute and fun and easy reading. I ended up skim reading at least half of this, I was just ready to have it over and done with by the end. They didn't capture my interest in the same way Maggie, Walt and Mouse did in the first book. Samantha and Miranda were okay, much better than Carrie was but still they couldn't save the story. I just didn't like so much of the relationships between the characters. Her arrogance was totally unfounded, and I just was going shuut uppp for so much of it.Īnd I found the romance really kind of creepy, I didn't like the relationship between Bernard and Carrie and even though things "resolved themselves" at the end it was still weird. I'm not sure if she was meant to be, but it ended up really annoying me. I just found her to be really annoying, obnoxious and kind of ridiculous. In SUMMER AND THE CITY, I couldn't stand her. In THE CARRIE DIARIES, I felt she was flawed but still entertaining. I was pretty disappointed, to be honest.Ĭarrie was really annoying in this one. I don't know how to feel? I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as The Carrie Diaries.
