Uprooted

I just commented somewhere or another that I'v never had a book crush – I don't “fall for” characters in books. I certainly would not fall for The Dragon in Uprooted – what a sour, stern character. But I believed that he was a good match for Agnieszka though, and vice versa.

But would it have killed someone to ever tell Agnieszka “good job?” :)

I liked Agnieszka a lot. I found her the type of strong female character I like to read. I think her magic came to easily and she always had the right spell too readily, but I kept turning the pages. Her evolution, and the choices she made at the end, really satisfied me and took the book to a whole new level for me.

The woods has villain – before my find out the origin of the threat – was pretty inspired. We know the woods are scary in fairy tales, but this took it to a whole new level of malevolence.
