syuanshine 's review for:
Uprooted
by Naomi Novik
3.5 stars
what I liked:
- the setting/worldbuilding
- the idea behind the story
- the writing
what I didn't like as much:
- pacing: can be a little slow at most parts
- plot was interesting (to me, but only because I liked folk/fairytales, which some people might not and thus feel bored?) but fell a bit flat in the end (the most important parts were packed into the last 70 to 100 pages of the book); sometimes confusing; unnecessarily long descriptions of battle without much value add to the story
- not sure if I like Agniezka or Sarkan, I think more of the book should have been dedicated to characterisation, especially for Sarkan; didn't feel like their relationship developed a lot either
overall not bad!! started off well and strong and intriguing but kind of tapered off towards the end
