Description

A dark enchantment blights the land in the award-winning Uprooted – a captivating fantasy inspired by fairy tales and steeped in Slavic folklore from Naomi Novik, author of the Scholomance trilogy and the Temeraire series.

'A great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight' – Cassandra Clare, author of The Mortal Instruments


Agnieszka loves her village, set deep in a peaceful valley. But the nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have been lost to the Wood and none return unchanged. The villagers depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the forest's dark magic. However, his help comes at a terrible price. One young village woman must serve him for ten years, leaving all they love and value behind.

The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka fears her dearest friend Kasia will be picked next, for she's everything Agnieszka is not – beautiful, graceful and brave. Yet when the Dragon comes, it's not Kasia he takes . . .

Uprooted is a stunning romantic fantasy filled with unexpected twists, beautiful friendships and fierce battles against dark forces.

    Commentaires

    Uprooted by Naomi Novik is enchanting, in every sense of that fine old word. A charming and inviting story that looks unflinchingly at the strangling roots of hurt and revenge. (ROBIN HOBB)
    The magic in Uprooted, with its realistic moral dimension, is so vividly believable that it almost seems you could work the spells. But the book will do that for you. (URSULA K. LE GUIN)
    Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic. (LEV GROSSMAN)
    Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could NOT stop reading this book and neither will you! (TAMORA PIERCE)
    Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it's just that enchanting. The adventure builds with such tension that you are peeking through your hands at the end, hoping it will all be okay, and Novik delivers a conclusion that's deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf that I'll revisit often. (KEVIN HEARN)
    Naomi Novik's Uprooted is a marvelous fantasy reminiscent of Howl's Moving Castle and vastly superior to The Hobbit. Her characters, setting, and the magic they use are all brilliant. I devoured the book in one reading. Well done! I want more! (TODD MCCAFFREY)
    The roots of Uprooted are planted deep in fairy tale lore, but the story that Naomi Novik has coaxed forth is fresh and compelling. It reads like a previously undiscovered origin myth in the best possible way! (JACQUELINE CAREY)
    Every so often you come upon a story that seems like a lost tale of Grimm newly come to light. Uprooted is such a novel. Its narrative spell is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. I might even call it bewitching. (GREGORY MAGUIRE)

    sometimes predictable but beautifully written

    nice performance, beautifully written. sometimes I could guess where the plot was going. The main character grew a lot in this story and sometimes her maturity seemed out of place for her age and life experience...but overall I really liked her.

    Well-read blend of fantasy and fairy tale

    No difficulty getting immersed in this standalone blend of fantasy and fairytale that’s neither too sentimental nor to dark, too predictable or too outrageous. The narrator has a lovely voice and accent that fills the story with emotion while varying enough to make the diverse characters come distinctly to life. The story is well-paced and suspenseful, just long enough to satisfy you thoroughly before getting tired of the first person narration.

    incredible storytelling and deep world

    While I do not recommend this book for the younger crowd --it depicting graphic sex scenes and a surprising amount of violence-- the book is very good.

    The world is deep, and lived-in. From political intrigues to the life of farmers and villagers, everything appears in sharp details and is shown with incredible emotional intelligence.

    The characters are likeable, and their struggle personal, and I had not rooted more for a protagonist in a long while. The magic isn't all-powerful, and you rarely ago yourself "why don't they just do that?" as is so often the case in fantasy.

    The narration is incredible. The soft accent, the emotion and the passion in it are incredibly contagious.

    My only problem with it would be towards the end, and how a certain battle was handled, but I can't go into more details without falling in spoiler territory.

    All-in-all, I will keep Agnieszka, Kasia and the Dragon close to my heart for years to come.
