Having said all that, Uprooted is still an enjoyable novel overall, especially for those who enjoy re-tellings from less famous fairytales.

The writing and imagery within this story was so magical and enchanting, and I fell in love with the way Novik describes magic and the magical elements of the Wood.
While I do wish we got slightly more romance between the two main characters (felt a bit rushed by the end), both characters had great character development throughout the story.
I also appreciated how the blurb didn’t give any of the plot away - this provided a more surprising and compelling read, and the twists were more enjoyable.
