Tress is written in prose as well since it's a first person telling where Hoid is embellishing, using analogies and generally making the telling more artistic. I'm assuming that Patrick Rothfuss is a great example of prose, lots of 'pretty' writing, similes/metaphors/descriptors. Within a novel is it safe to say it's more about the actually writing and not necessarily the plot that defines prose? Being able to use descriptors, say something without actually writing it etc? It's hard to find what it means in context of longer works. Example I found are literally just poems. Prose, when you Google it, is defined as poetry straight and simple. Now I've heard that Tress was his way of flipping the bird to his critics and an example of his prose like a 'you said I can't do it, but I can I just choose not to.' This is specifically in the context of Sanderson as I've heard it a lot about TOTES - multiple times people have said that prior to Tress, Brandon was not known for prose, even said to have terrible prose. I did Google the definition of prose before people just copy and paste that. Produces: Brandon is a robot!
