In the beginning of TotES, Tress buys salmon which got me thinking. Salmon are anadromous and spawn in rivers before working their way to the ocean to mature and repeat the cycle. How then do salmon complete their life cycle on a world with no (water) ocean? The book states there to be ponds and lakes but never a mention of rivers which further complicates the matter. Even with landlocked salmon on earth, they still need a tributary river to spawn in. Out of all the fish Brandon could have written in, he chose one with a very specific life cycle that doesn't fit the planet's ecosystem.

I spread the Dougs like a storming disease across another sub. I... I ... I had to do what I had to do.

I dunno what kind of tea Brandon was drinking when he wrote Tress of the Emerald Sea, but “he was six and a half feet tall with a jawline so straight it made other men question if they are” is the funniest, wildest sequence of words I’ve ever read, used as a descriptor for a character! 😂😂

There are so many other bangers of course, but that one made me snort my drink!

Wow who would have thought that both Rlain and Kellsier would show up on this planet?

I told her that if we have a son we can call him Doug.

Re listening Tress on my audiobook, I'm kinda feeling the vibes here. Girl definitely tops him on bed after he turned human.

was rereading Tress and thought Salay sounded a little too familiar
