I mean, I actually checked my plants so I wouldn’t be murdered in my sleep or something. The book was not about their relationship, but about their fight against the corrupted Wood. I thought this was going to be some weird romance thingy between the Dragon and Agnieszka.
She is very gentle and nice, but also headstrong and even though bad things happen to her, she stays positive and cares for the people around her. Of course, there is also Kasia, the prettiest girl in the village and also a very talented one. Those two are the most important characters. All she needs are Kasia and her family and nature. Agnieszka doesn’t need a man, she can survive well without one in her life. And she values her friendship with Kasia above all else. Because she speaks her mind and when she believes in something, she won’t stay down, not matter how dangerous a thing can be. When it comes to magic, she is actually kind of a Mary Sue, but that didn’t annoy me at all. But she finds out that she is indeed a witch and what a witch she is. The protagonist, Agnieszka, is not the prettiest girl in town, nor is she anything special really. And even though he is moody and brooding, he was a complex character I loved reading about. And he doesn’t like to get really close to anything or anyone, he seems to like being by himself. He likes his old ways, his old magical concepts and needs a long time to accept that things might work out good (or even better) when you try to do them another way. He is dark and moody and he does not like change, at all. Apparently many people seem to think he is an actualy dragon before they read the book, but he is not. If I had known I like it so much, I would have read it as soon as it was in my hands. And I finally gave in and read it in only two days. Since I bought Uprooted a year ago, one of my friends was telling me to read it. My opinion: *Warning: contains slight spoilers* For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. She knows – everyone knows – that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid.
But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river.
