Interesting story the constant repetition of the narrative was a bit annoying. A lot of stuff was just glazed over.
Y por libros como estos sigo esperando descubrir que tengo algún talento hermoso e innato que estaba por despertar
I have set out to reread Uprooted exactly zero times. However, it is now six - seven? - times I have said to myself, "I will just read this one part," and ended up rereading at least 80% of the not-exactly-short book. Given this track record, I think I can just say that this is my favorite book, that it is all the tropes of my childhood at their most lush and raw and sweet, practically overpowering in its richness. Not everyone will love it, but I can't recommend it enough.

I would give this masterpiece 100 stars if I could. It is sensational. The writing is lush and gorgeous, the world vibrant. The story kept me captivated from beginning to end. It’s been years since I read a fantasy book I wasn’t able to predict - and I didn’t see literally anything coming in this one. Neishka is a phenomenal main character, determined to remain true to herself and maintain her goodness. I cannot recommend this book enough - Uprooted has firmly cemented itself in the top 5 fantasy novels I’ve ever read.

I enjoyed the fact that the solution to the wood was solved with empathy rather than violence.

I tried really hard to keep myself from finding out too much about this book while I read it. I enjoyed being able to discover all the elements as I continued on. This book does have a lot of fantastic elements going for it. The world building was particularly wonderful and I enjoyed all of the fantasy aspects.
I will say that the one of the aspects about the book that I did not like, did sour a good portion of the ending for me.

I almost wanted to throw my version of the book at the wall when the 17, maybe 18, year old and the 150+ year old sleep together. It didn't work for me because I didn't find it romantic, and was creeped out by the drastic age difference.
