À propos de cette écoute
A dark enchantment blights the land in the award-winning Uprooted – a captivating fantasy inspired by fairy tales and steeped in Slavic folklore. From the author of A Deadly Education and His Majesty's Dragon, Naomi Novik.
'A great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight' – Cassandra Clare, author of Sword Catcher
Agnieszka loves her village, set deep in a peaceful valley. But the nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have been lost to the Wood and none return unchanged. The villagers depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the forest's dark magic. However, his help comes at a terrible price. One young village woman must serve him for ten years, leaving all they love and value behind.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka fears her dearest friend Kasia will be picked next, for she's everything Agnieszka is not – beautiful, graceful and brave. Yet when the Dragon comes, it's not Kasia he takes . . .
Uprooted is a stunning, romantic fantasy filled with unexpected twists, beautiful friendships and fierce battles against dark forces.
'So vividly believable that it almost seems you could work the spells' – Ursula K. Le Guin, author of the Earthsea series

sometimes predictable but beautifully written
nice performance, beautifully written. sometimes I could guess where the plot was going. The main character grew a lot in this story and sometimes her maturity seemed out of place for her age and life experience...but overall I really liked her.

Well-read blend of fantasy and fairy tale
No difficulty getting immersed in this standalone blend of fantasy and fairytale that’s neither too sentimental nor to dark, too predictable or too outrageous. The narrator has a lovely voice and accent that fills the story with emotion while varying enough to make the diverse characters come distinctly to life. The story is well-paced and suspenseful, just long enough to satisfy you thoroughly before getting tired of the first person narration.

incredible storytelling and deep world
While I do not recommend this book for the younger crowd --it depicting graphic sex scenes and a surprising amount of violence-- the book is very good.
The world is deep, and lived-in. From political intrigues to the life of farmers and villagers, everything appears in sharp details and is shown with incredible emotional intelligence.
The characters are likeable, and their struggle personal, and I had not rooted more for a protagonist in a long while. The magic isn't all-powerful, and you rarely ago yourself "why don't they just do that?" as is so often the case in fantasy.
The narration is incredible. The soft accent, the emotion and the passion in it are incredibly contagious.
My only problem with it would be towards the end, and how a certain battle was handled, but I can't go into more details without falling in spoiler territory.
All-in-all, I will keep Agnieszka, Kasia and the Dragon close to my heart for years to come.
