I read Uprooted as a buddy read with the lovely Joce and we had a few different opinions about this book. (What made the buddy read extremely interesting and enjoyable). Joce actually DNF the book but I finished it and I have to say: that was a wild ride! 
 Uprooted turned out like nothing I have expected. 
 The plot took turns I couldn't predict and I was enjoying the brutal and more adult path it took. 
 I agree with Joce that one big problem of the book was the missing of character development for Agnieszka and Sarkan (The Dragon). There could've been way more development but I still felt a connection to them and I really loved that Sarkan was a complex character and not your typical hero love interest. Agnieszka started out a little bit like every young heroine in books today but she really changed for me mostly in the ending. She was a beautiful character! The relationship between Agnieszka and the Dragon was sassy and so much fun to read. 
 I wished it would've been a little bit more of those two together because I enjoyed their scenes tremendously. Kasia was also a great supporting character as well as Solya. 
 Like I mentioned in the begin, this book turned out way different than I thought it would. It's way more brutal and I think it is more of a New Adult book then a YA book. There is also a explicit sex scene so I wouldn't recommend this book to a younger audience. The monsters and the battle scenes are described in detail and like I said there is a lot of blood and beheading and dying involved. 
 Another thing that annoyed Joce a lot and I think it's important to mention is the different writing style. There a long passages where Agnieszka is just describing and thinking and telling the story without one single conversation between characters. So I recommend checking out a preview of the book so you'll be able to see for yourself if you enjoy that kind of writing. 
 Last but not least, the story lacked a bit of balance in the middle. There where so many things going on that I was sometimes confused about the jumps in the storyline and other times she could have shortened it because it was getting boring. 
 The first 2/4 and the last 1/4 were definitely the best. The middle part was just not as good. 
 Anyway I give this book 3.5 stars because I for myself enjoyed the writing a lot, the story was so unexpected and I loved the turns it took and I am satisfied with the ending.
