According to the author, Uprooted was not written as a YA novel, but it was marketed as such — understandable, considering its young protagnoist, fast moving plots, promient romantic storyline, colorful but somewhat simplistic characters. It also suffers from some standard YA pitfalls — overly-hormonal characters, too-tidy ...

The book picked up in the last quarter and the explanation of how the Wood came to be was satisfying, without being too byzantine. All in all, Uprooted was well worth reading and even has convinced me that I should be more open to other books in the genre. For that, I'm giving it an A-.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik - My Review. Well, this was an interesting read. This story took several surprising directions I did not expect at all.

It is more a long, unpredictable magical war intertwined with a bit of ...

When I first heard about Uprooted, I was expecting it to be like Dragon Rose by Christina Pope, which was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but with a dragon as the beast!

In an effort to pay back that debt, Olmstead tells (with a light and loving touch) the story of her family, generations of farmers in Emmett. Her memories as a young girl on the farm make for some of the richest, most affecting scenes in the book. But Uprooted is more than a family memoir; it is also an "exercise in discernment.".
