Beskrivelse
‘Bewitching’ – Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
**Includes the bonus short story ‘The Lake Witch’ exclusive to this 10th Anniversary Edition**
A dark enchantment blights the land in the award-winning Uprooted – a captivating fantasy inspired by fairy tales and steeped in Slavic folklore. From the author of A Deadly Education and His Majesty’s Dragon, Naomi Novik.
‘A great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight’ – Cassandra Clare, author of Sword Catcher
Agnieszka loves her village, set deep in a peaceful valley. But the nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have been lost to the Wood and none return unchanged. The villagers depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the forest’s dark magic. However, his help comes at a terrible price. One young village woman must serve him for ten years, leaving all they love and value behind.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka fears her dearest friend Kasia will be picked next, for she’s everything Agnieszka is not – beautiful, graceful and brave. Yet when the Dragon comes, it's not Kasia he takes . . .
Uprooted is a stunning, romantic fantasy filled with unexpected twists, beautiful friendships and fierce battles against dark forces.

Uprooted er et hæsblæsende eventyr med store konsekvenser på spil, både personligt og for verden generelt. Et must read for enhver fantasy fan eller for fans af eventyr. Naomi Novik formår at bygge en verden hvor læseren forstår hvad der sker uden at det trækker væk fra tempoet og bogen flyver derfor afsted.

I would give it 3,5 stars, but it is closer to 4 ten to 3, so 4 it is. Great read! I enjoyed it thoroughly, from the first page to the last, enjoyable writing and most importantly the storyline is not stagnant at all, at any place in the book. The fact that this is a stand-alone novel that doesn't need any sequel makes it even more enjoyable for me and because I usually seem to enjoy a retelling of an old legend or story, I must say, I approve.
