He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”Īgnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. “Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. Despite some of its flaws, I hope you read this and fall in love with it as I have! Goodreads Synopsis Basically, readers seem to either love it or don’t. The magic system is weak, and there is definitely a Special Snowflake trope that might drive you crazy. People are pretty divisive over this book. I still feel all the fluttery excited feels each time I start a reread of this. So without further ado, here is my original review I had posted to Goodreads. It’s full of creepy forest atmosphere, political intrigue, and the most heart-pounding romance (even though the romance is only about 10% of this book). I absolutely fell in love with this book and have reread it many times. If you didn’t know, Uprooted is my favorite book ever. I can’t believe I didn’t post this review here sooner. Since I launched my blog after I read this book, I’ve been backdating past reviews I posted to Goodreads.
