Uprooted is fascinating for its eastern European influences and its world building was very vibrant in my opinion. I liked the main character well enough even though some of the supposedly most difficult magic came a tad too easily to her. It didn't feel earned at times but her stumbling through her mistakes partially made up for this. I did find the book slow at times and I had a hard time getting through it initially.
