Grown Up, Gothic Fairy Tale: A Review of Naomi Novik's "Uprooted"

    This book is enchanting, and you should absolutely read it. I can not emphasize that enough. Novik has created an incredible world, that she easily pulls you into. “Uprooted” reads like a grown up fairy tale, with all the charm and magic you remember of books from your childhood. Captivating from the first page, I was completely unable to put it down. Our hero, Agnieszka, has what the Dragon calls “an unequaled gift for disaster.” Always dirty, often clumsy, she worms her way into your heart with her stubborn determination and awkward charm. Aside from the adventure, there's a simple and endearing love story at the heart of the story.
    Although this novel is a complete story, I find myself longing to revisit the world of Polnya again. I cannot wait to reread this book, and slip into this world all over again!
