![]() ![]() ![]() I was immediately grabbed by the premise of this book and knew it was going to take me on an incredible storytelling journey, but the story it ended up telling was even more than I could ever have imagined. This year, everyone thinks he will take Kasia, the most beautiful girl in the valley. Every ten years, a wizard called The Dragon comes down from his tower to her village and chooses a girl to take with him, the price for keeping the Wood’s darkness at a safe distance from the village. ![]() Right next to her village, there lies a corrupted wood, wherein deadly peril lies for some unlucky souls who tread too far in its shadows. Uprooted is about Agnieszka, a girl who lives in a small village in the valley alongside her family and her best friend, Kasia. Anyway, let me stop rambling and tell you a little bit about this wondrous book that definitely enchanted me right from the beginning. I’ve been wanting to read more fantasy for awhile, and though I have a number of series I want to get stuck into, I am only reading library books right now so standalone novels are much easier to obtain. When I finally read it last week, it was exactly the kind of book I was looking for. ![]() How do I begin to talk about this enchanting (there really is no word to describe it, thanks Robin Hobb) story? For a long time now, I’ve only heard high praise for Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and each time I did, the book went further and further up my reading list. ![]()
