Naomi Novik's "Uprooted" is a richly woven fantasy that invites readers into a world of ancient magic, complex relationships, and the enduring struggle between civilization and wilderness. Drawing inspiration from Eastern European folklore, Novik crafts a story that balances enchanting world-building with deep character development. The journey of the protagonist, Agnieszka, is both a tale of personal growth and a meditation on the costs and responsibilities of power. The novel’s intricate plot, moral ambiguity, and exploration of tradition versus change offer readers a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
