Review Cool and clever and warm and satisfying and dire and wonderful; I loved this book so much (Laini Taylor)A book as cool and mysterious as a winter’s night, with two marvelous heroines at its heart. Spinning Silver pits the cold of endless winter against the fires of duty, love and sacrifice. I couldn’t put it down (Katherine Arden)Dauntless women, cruel lords and wayward fairies come together in a beautifully realised world. Brimming over with fairy-tale magic, SPINNING SILVER proves Naomi Novik to be a master fantasist at the top of her game (Zen Cho)Lovely, intricate and strong. A gorgeous read. The sort of book one reads again and again (Genevieve Cogman)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 on Uprooted)I didn't know how much I wanted to read a book like this until it was already in my hands. Uprooted has everything I love about Novik's writing style, with the added bonus of some old world magic and the flavor of a dark faerie story (Patrick Rothfuss on Uprooted)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 on Uprooted)Uprooted has everything I love: a great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns.
