Uprooted

Uprooted is a novel that draws thematically from a variety of genres-- such as fairy tales, romance, court fantasy, and horror -- to craft a story that kept me enthralled. The malevolent Wood was a truly chilling antagonist, and I felt that its threat balanced well against Agnieszka's hyper-competence. I also appreciated that although Agnieszka was taken away from her home, it and her relationships there remained important to the story. I enjoyed the time I spent learning about this richly-imagined world, and I hope that one day Novik might return here to tell another story!
