Uprooted
by Naomi Novik
AH! This was such a joy to read, even though it took me longer than normal to finish. The world building, characters and story were so intriguing and I loved the concept of the "bad guy" being a thing more than a person. I also loved the depth to the Wood and as being more than just a evil thing wanting to kill for no purpose. More authors need to take Novik's guidance on this area of storytelling.
The ending was the cherry on top for me. I thought it ended wonderfully and leaves me with a giddy, contentment that my favourite books bring.
Can't recommend this book enough. Though one warning: the format of the book was a little jarring in the beginning (hardly any white space) and if you are expecting a typical YA format style, think again. Sometimes I found I had to reread paragraphs, because I'd miss certain details with how many were pressed closely together.
