I loved this book, just as much as I loved Uprooted!
Spinning Silver has lots of excellent female main characters, which I always love. I did think the story took a while to get going, and I wasn't really sure where it was headed, but there was a lot of solid wordbuilding along the way. Even when the story did get going, it kept surprising me (in a good way!). I've realised I really enjoy character-driven stories, and this is definitely that!
I was really itching for a fantasy book when I decided to pick this up, and it has absolutely scratched the itch!
