![]() Agnieszka dread the time when the Dragon come, because she's so sure that he will choose Kasia. This year, it's Agnieszka and her friends turn. After 10 years, he will release the girl, but that girl herself will come out change, no longer want to live in the village. ![]() For every 10 years, he will demand people from the village to give a girl age 17 years to live with him, in exchange of his protection from the malicious evil forest called the Wood. ![]() There's a wizard called the Dragon that lived in the Tower. In the first glimpse and also the blurb, Uprooted start with a single, simple premise. In her notes, Novik said that the idea of Uprooted come from Polish folklore, titled Agnieszka Skrawek Neiba, and because of it, the titular heroine of Uprooted also have name Agnieszka. However, Uprooted also have some glaring weakness that make me don't want to rate it more than 4 stars. Uprooted remind me of time when I read Elantris and Gods of Jade and Shadows, two standalone novels that I always recommend to everyone that want to read stand alone novels. Either you love and praise it or you hate it with a passion of thousand burning suns (okay, this is exaggerate). Reading reviews for Uprooted, I can see that the opinion of this book is pretty much polarized. ![]()
