Uprooted by Naomi Novik

5.0

A story of self-discovery and discovering all that lies beyond home, Naomi Novik weaves a beautiful, darkly whimsical tale of ever growing proportions. With a dash of political intrigue, a cup of gothic romance, and a heaping scoop of saving the world, a hauntingly beautiful story is made, complete with the shimmering details of exquisitely elaborate descriptions and the enchanting visuals of Agnieszka learning to hone and guide her magic. Set in a world terrorized by corrupt magic, with a magic system with true limits, Novik does not hold back on threatening to break your heart over and over again, never knowing until the last page, just who will survive.
