saphirablue 's review for:
Uprooted
by Naomi Novik
I'm so disappointed in this.
The first person POV is so limiting to the story (We do not learn the name of the male main character until about half into the story. We do not know how the magic system works. Why is the Dragon so grumpy and, yes, abusive to Agnieszka? And so on.).
I couldn't really connect to the characters. :(
The love story? What? Where did that come from? o.O
So many time jumps in which Agnieszka learns stuff but we don't get to learn it with her. :(
But, there have been a few things I liked, too.
The friendship between Kasia and Agnieszka.
The Wood and how it came to be.
The combination of the magic of the Dragon and Agnieszka.
But, overall, so very disappointed.
