Uprooted has made a leap forward and secured the title of the best book I've read this year. Moving, heart-wrenching, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel that I feel I've been waiting for my entire life. Clear your schedule before picking it up, as you won't want to put it down.

A highly entertaining fantasy novel with the flair of a modern classic. Naomi Novik skillfully utilizes the structure of her fairy tale, which transforms into a coming-of-age story, adding enough substance to create something entirely different. The vibrant characters surrounding her reflect their fairy tale counterparts, yet are rooted in a real ambivalence that makes this book quietly mature, and its world feels alive.
