Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
4.0
That ending! I gasped aloud, then laughed in sheer delight!
This was a fairytale for grownups, blending Grimm's tales and Rus folklore into a fantastically woven masterpiece. Not smut, not weak-plotted, with fully developed characters and strong storytelling. It is for adults, but it is not raunchy. It just has some themes I would not wish my children to have introduced without discussion. I have to reread Uprooted now. The twists and turns really do twist!!
I have really, REALLY enjoyed everything I have ever read by Naomi Novik, even though I have too much Christian conviction to let myself "go" in the Scholomance series. I hope someday I can write as well as she.
