nikitaylor_148 's review for:

Uprooted by Naomi Novik
5.0

There. Are. No. Words. But let's give it a shot....

I had no idea what I was missing waiting so long to dive into the worlds Naomi Novik creates!

Agnieszka is immediately relatable, and the character development is astounding! Loyal, passionate, stubborn, kind - you can't help but root for her.

The Dragon, however, was like the slow thaw of an ice sculpture with a blow dryer.

The story began in a reasonable direction and then you were flung so fast and so far off script, all you could do was hold on for dear life. Like a blind roller coaster ride; one minute you're adjusting to the loops and curves, and the next you're plummeting down a drop and your stomach's in your throat. And then from full speed to a lurching stop.

Topped off with a blissful last scene that kept a dorky grin on my face long after the book was closed. Read it. Now.
