I enjoyed it perhaps moreso as a retelling than some other books, and my only critiques are nit-picky, but ultimately, ended up taking away some of the magic of the story for me.
The lack of magic-system development particularly bothered me. For some reason, Agnieszka
Going on that vein, the

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

It’s clear Nokik is a talented writer, her descriptions are lovely and evocative. However, I was uncomfortable with the attempted sexual assault near the beginning of the book and couldn’t really move past that since it was unnecessary to the plot.
Her characters were well written but were boring and took their sweet time to do anything.

Overall nice world building and scenery but never really decides if it wants to be high fantasy and I think it really suffers as a result. It is clear that Novik is a very talented writer, the prose is really great but is let down by plot structure IMO. Not helped by the MC being incredibly annoying in the first half of the book with some weird development leading into conclusion.
