I have not thought about Baba Yaga in years! Lucky Ms Novik grew up with family who told her these stories but poor little me, I had to search them out in "Highlights for Children" in the dentist offices of my childhood. Ms Novik's Agnieszka is not Baba Yaga but the witch Jaga lived in the forest near Agnieszka's house."Uprooted" is a great book and it is a self-contained book. Ms Novik has gone against the tide and put a whole fantasy novel in one book! Hooray. There is room for more stories about these characters, if she feels like writing, but with "Uprooted" you don't have to wade through (or pay for) 3 paper doorstops."Uprooted" is great, too, because all of the women - all of the peasant women, and the royal women, and the kids - are strong and equal. Not all of them are people you want to spend time with, but every woman acts on her own desires and acts unselfconsciously, not like the "look at me" girls in movies and most books.I am, as of this writing, the only person who has downgraded the cover on the NetGalley site. The reason I did that is because the cover is too generic, too much like other covers. And the cover is too innocent, too sweet, and it might trick someone into buying the book for a kid. There is only one sex scene in the book, but it is a well-written, sensuous, very adult sex scene (whew!) that blasts the book waaay out of the "appropriate for all ages" category. Yet the cover radiates teen appeal.I received a review copy of "Uprooted" by Naomi Novik (Random House - Del Rey Spectra) through NetGalley.com.
Magical tale based in large part on Polish fairy tales about Baba Yaga and her hut on chicken foot, about Poland and Russia and their never ending-conflicts about. Agnieszka (polish name) is a young girl with no skills other then being a total, grimy and clumsy mess. When it is discovered she has magic of her own it is as undisciplined and chaotic as the girl herself, however it is quite potent. When mixed with her masters magic it produces miraculous results. At the heart of the story is loyalty, friendships, love, greed, power and vengeance. Not everyone escapes unscathed but those who do have to find their own way to happiness. I loved it and found it breathtakingly beautiful.
Having been a fan of Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series for many years, I have often wondered what she would do if she ever decided to write something else. After all, this is a woman who studied English Literature at Brown University, holds a degree in Computer Science from Columbia, and wasn’t afraid to show her geeky side as a game designer on Neverwinter Nights. That’s a pretty awesome combination in my book and when she chose to write the Temeraire series, a fantasy/historical mashup combining the concept of intelligent dragons working as a sort of Air Force with wartime forces in the Napoleonic era, well…I was hooked.So now comes this new novel and my bottom line verdict is that it is fantastic. It’s straight fantasy but absolutely reminds one of that nostalgic feeling of fairy tales you read (or were read to you) from childhood. After reading the opening two chapters I thought I was on my way into just such a fairy tale, but it wasn’t long before any ideas I had about predicting where this was going were thrown out of the proverbial window. The plot begins as a twist in the age-old concept of a young maiden being picked every ten years by the village elders to sacrifice to the dragon in order to buy its protection. The twist is that this time it’s not an actual dragon but a renowned wizard who requires the sacrifice. And he doesn’t select the pretty young maiden that everybody was planning on but instead chooses Agneieszka, our protagonist, and it is though her eyes that we see the story unfold.OK…interesting twist but I still thought I knew where the plot was going. I was wrong.No spoilers from me but suffice it to say that this novel kept me turning the pages way past my bedtime. Ms. Novik is a masterful storyteller and knows how to pace a book to keep the reader hooked all the way through. Her use of language is perfect for this type of tale, combining the lighter fairy tale elements but also taking a deep dive into battle scenes with a hard grittiness that, frankly, surprised me. And the world building…this is how it should be done. It’s obviously fully developed but we aren’t bombarded with extraneous details that we don’t need. We can understand everything and how all the characters fit together but don’t spend much time with info dumps.I understand this book is being marketed as YA although I confess to not really understanding the distinction anymore. The only thing remotely YA about this is the fact that Agneieszka is seventeen years old at the beginning of the story. Rest assured there is no “dumbing down†of the plot, the rich characterization, or the language/word choice. True, there is no swearing to speak of but there is violence aplenty. Lots of fighting action and violent deaths, plenty of creative use of well-imagined magic, and a tasteful but on-stage sex scene all combine to make this one a keeper. And the plot about the woods…the intelligent life force of the dark woods and how it consumes people…oh yeah…no spoilers. You’ll have to read that yourself.This book is complete in and of itself. I could see how there may be a sequel or two (or seven) but there may never be more.Well done Ms. Novik. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed getting lost in this book. It draws you in to The Wood. I reached the end and felt a bit confused, I had to blink and look around and realize I was no longer in The Wood, but sitting in my living room...I could really relate to the main character. I understood the way she felt, her frustration and the way she coped and succeeded. Doing things her way, the way that was comfortable, not the "correct, spelled out way". It took me back to my old Polish neighbors that I would visit as a child. The comfortable life, herbs hanging from the rafters, hot sweet tea..I wish there was another one to read...
I loved "Uprooted!" This really is a book that has everything. Agnieszka is such a charming, likeable main character. She loves her family, her friends, and her life - all before the Dragon chooses her to serve him. The interactions between these two are often hilarious. He's a total brat - grumpy, rough around the edges, argumentative. And Agnieszka is his stubborn, sassy counterpart. The descriptions of magic in this are one of the best parts. And the plot!! You'll be on the edge of your seat for most of the book. The most beautiful aspect, to me, is how deeply she and Kasia love each other. Realistic female friendships are hard to come across in literature, but it never felt as if their love was put on the back burner for anything else. A wonderful, imaginative read.
