Excellent treatment of a good story

Full cast is great in this version of Tress. Graphic Audio doesn’t always mix and balance audio well; but the sound effects and background music are very well executed in this title.
They excised the story of the tosher and the potatoes in this abridged movie in your mind. Not sure if there are other missing pieces.
If Graphic Audio continues to put out this level of audio quality I will definitely listen more.
The story: definitely a gem for the cosmere fan, and also a decent standalone fairy tale. Features some decidedly silly and goofy bits, some simple characters, and some predictable plot. As with most fairy tales, there are some logical gaps.
That said, it’s a charming story and a fun adventure.

Surprisingly delightful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was a little unsure with the first chapter or so but was so happy I kept listening. From the characters to the adventure, it kept my attention and kept me laughing. It was surprisingly delightful and the cast did a wonderful job. This is my first dramatized audio and I was very pleased.

Loved it!

I've listened to many Sanderson books but this was first dramatized version and I don't know how I'll go back. The immersion is hypnotic and I did not want to stop listening. The story is incredible, whimsical, unique and rememberable. Every character is played out so well, kudos to everyone involved on this project. If you're on the fence about getting it, don't be just get it! You will not be disappointed in the dramatized version.

I adored the performances and execution here by Graphic Audio, stellar work by all involved.

Delightful, Start to Finish!

Fantastic, fun, and sincerely heartwarming! It's an excellent performance, and some of the best use of music and SFX I've seen in dramatized version so far.

A fun whimsical book

A little hard to follow at times but I enjoyed myself. Great amount of twists and turns
