Uprooted -- What did you think?

I just realized there was no discussion of this book because I didn't create a place for that to happen...? Oh my...

Anyways, I will be picking the book up tomorrow, but feel free to chat about it here.

LOVED this book. Since I'm not much into love stories, the fact that Novik was weak with this part of the novel didn't bother me at all. Like 'Night Circus', I finished the book not only believing in magic, but believing in my own powers of witchcraft. Watch out, neighborhood!

I read this book last year and loved it! My favorite book of 2015. I'm a huge fan of fairy tale retellings. Uprooted felt like a fairy tale - the setting, the magic, the forest, the quest, the young woman - but kept, repeatedly, turning tropes on their head into something unexpected. And man, I loved that spunky, powerful, brave heroine.

I enjoyed it a lot, but I found the romance a bit strained...well, a bit more than strained. Problematic. Not wrong, but I can see where some people would be very uncomfortable with it.

I liked the book so much that I purchased her Temeraire series (historical fantasy -- Bonaparte wars with dragons in an air corps) and they are not disappointing me.

Pardon me for my extended absence...I've been ill and am still dealing with it...

I enjoyed this enormously when I read it last year.

I loved this book. I got it from Audible. Some did not like the narrator, but I found her accent charming. It seems like an Eastern European accent and added to the fairy tail-ness of the story. I think I'll listen to it again.
