Uprooted by Naomi Novik

From the author of the Temeraire series comes this hugely imaginative, engrossing fantasy novel, inspired by folk and fairy tales. It is perfect reading for fans of Robin Hobb and Trudi Canavan.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik is enchanting, in every sense of that fine old wordA charming and inviting story that looks unflinchingly at the strangling roots of hurt and revenge -- Robin Hobb, author of Assassin's Apprentice
The magic in Uprooted, with its realistic moral dimension, is so vividly believable that it almost seems you could work the spells -- Ursula K. Le Guin, author of A Wizard of Earthsea
Every so often you come upon a story that seems like a lost tale of Grimm newly come to light. Uprooted is such a novel. Its narrative spell is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. I might even call it bewitching -- Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic -- Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
Uprooted has everything I love: a great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight -- Cassandra Clare, author of City of Bones and Sword Catcher
Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could NOT stop reading this book and neither will you! -- Tamora Pierce, author of the Song of the Lioness series
The roots of Uprooted are planted deep in fairy tale lore, but the story that Naomi Novik has coaxed forth is fresh and compelling. It reads like a previously undiscovered origin myth -- Jacqueline Carey, author of Kushiel's Dart
Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it's just that enchanting . . . Novik delivers a conclusion that's deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf -- Kevin Hearn, author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
A marvelous fantasy reminiscent of Howl's Moving Castle and vastly superior to The Hobbit. Her characters, setting, and the magic they use are all brilliant. I devoured the book in one reading -- Todd McCaffrey, author of Dragonheart
