Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Uprooted

This was atrocious. I read a review on here that said this book is like a warm sweater. If your sweater is filled with misogyny, SA, and tons and tons of grossly described stains then, yes it's a sweater. But not one I ever want to try wearing again. I actually felt ill reading this book. Loved the premise and the writing was good but the actual plot and characters made me sick. There is so much abuse in this book it's intolerable. The worst for me was the SA then the immediate victim blaming from our supposed love interest. No way. DNFed in the third chapter.

This book was so intriguing. It had twists and mysteries that I did not predict. I loved the characters and the second half of the book had me on the edge of my seat.

If you love an enchanting, yet sinister fantasy atmosphere, this book is for you. Especially if you want a story based in folklore and aren't adverse to a bit (a lot) of on page violent murder. Really adored the way the main character tirelessly fights tooth and nail not only for herself, but for what's right, even when those in power around her are concerned with something else entirely.

1.0

A hard read. Good environment but no character development, slow and boring prose, underwhelming friendship arc, a magic system conveniently designed to make the protagonist win every battle without having to give structure to the book and a weird pedophile 0 chemistry love story with a 150 man with nothing but audacity and a bad attitude.

The writing was bizarre, the name of the protagonist must have been said every 3 words.
