I almost DNFed at 20% when I wasn't enjoying the "Noir" writing or style. But I kept going and even started getting into it and was heading to a solid 3 to 4 stars. Then they brought in the "moon man" and I wasAt least not any time soon and not without checking for Sci-Fi elements. (ChatGPT's research says it has even more!)
The narrator did a very good job though. I was thoroughly impressed with it.

It was fine and enjoyable enough though the politics, even if they were my politics, were over the top!

Tress of the Emerald Sea - A Cosmere Novel
Narrated by: Michael Kramer
Series: Secret Projects, Book 1, The Cosmere
Length: 12 hrs and 27 mins
Really enjoyed the book. Certainly more than I expected. I like the wit and humor of the narrator and I surprised myself with enjoying the fantasy.
My review to Alicia:
As promised, I am keeping up with sharing really good [audio]books I've finished where I am sad they are over and just really enjoyed my time.
I recently finished Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. I have had mixed luck with fantasy before but this was a major, major hit! In addition to the fun fantasy, it had great wit and general humor. It was supposed to be styled like The Princess Bride and I think it blew that away! It is part of a greater fantasy universe but is standalone.
I read the single-narrator version. There is a full-cast "graphic audio" but I think I made the right choice. I just listened to parts of the full-cast one and found it hard to follow and less engaging.
