Über diesen Titel

 'Bewitching' – Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked


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

Kritikerstimmen

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 the Mortal Instruments and Chronicles of Castellane series)
Uprooted by Naomi Novik is enchanting, in every sense of that fine old word. A charming and inviting story that looks unflinchingly at the strangling roots of hurt and revenge. (Robin Hobb, author of the Farseer Trilogy)
The magic in Uprooted, with its realistic moral dimension, is so vividly believable that it almost seems you could work the spells. But the book will do that for you. (Ursula K. Le Guin, author of the Earthsea series)
Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic. (Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians)
Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could NOT stop reading this book and neither will you! (Tamora Pierce, author of Wild Magic)
Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it's just that enchanting. The adventure builds with such tension that you are peeking through your hands at the end, hoping it will all be okay, and Novik delivers a conclusion that's deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf that I'll revisit often. (Kevin Hearn, author of Ink & Sigil)
Naomi Novik's Uprooted is 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. Well done! I want more! (Todd McCaffrey, co-author of the Dragonriders of Pern 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 in the best possible way! (Jacqueline Carey, author of Kushiel's Dart)
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 and Elphie)

I really like this book but struggled to bear the narrator who was reading as if she was reading heptameter. Not sure why she chooses this sing-song voice but it takes all the nuances out of the book. Whilst she has a very sweet voice overall, she is incapable of giving credible voices to the characters - her voicing of men (dumpf and dull), children (squeaky) and older women (crackly) is painful at most times and the one somewhat erotic passage in the book just made me cringe. I hate it when male narrators speak women by making their pitch higher and women likewise making theirs lower is equally incompetent and rids the characters off depth and complexity. There are two inflections the narrator has mastered - one is the dominating narration style which sounds as if she recites poetry and the other is Surprise!. I was looking forward to the next book but seeing that it has the same narrator will rather re-read it myself than listen to something like this again.

Nice book, incompetent reading

Eine spannende Geschichte voller vielschichtiger Figuren und unerwarteter Wendungen und von der Sprecherin hervorragend zum Leben erweckt.

märchenhaft, aber ohne die klischeehaften Rollenverteilungen. absolut empfehlenswert.

rundum gut

This is basically the coming-of-age-story of a teenage girl. She has to leave her family and friends. She gets trained in an art completely new to her. Initally overwhelmed, she discovers she is actually very talented at it. She falls in love with her teacher, attracted to a man who mainly comes across as distant and arrogant, but extremely good at his job and quite attractive. She learns about sexual attraction and has pleasant and unpleasant encounters. She learns that the dangers of her world are actually very serious and out to get her, not just the fairytales she believed as a kid; and how she can put her talents towards making the world a better place. She has to face up to the conflicts of her childhood days and resolve them. Her horizon broadens as she moves to the big city and has to find her way in social circles that were alien to her before. She gains knowledge and courage and self-respect. And then all of this is put to the test in a big showdown to save her world.
It's just disguised as a fairy tale complete with magicians, enchanted woods, witches, beautiful princes and evil queens which is disguised as a fantasy novel.
It's a bit like the Outlander series really, but with more magic and a bit less sex.
If you enjoy escaping into such a fairy tale world, if you occasionally enjoy such teenage erotic fantasies, or if you are a LARPer who enjoys detailed and intricate descriptions of magical spells and healing rituals - or if you are all of this at once deep down in your heart, you'll like this book. If not, read something else.

for teenagers, LARPers ... at heart
