Reviews

Cool and clever and warm and satisfying and dire and wonderful; I loved this book so much
*Laini Taylor, author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone*

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, author of the Winternight Trilogy*

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, author of Spirits Abroad*

Lovely, intricate and strong. A gorgeous read. The sort of book one reads again and again
*Genevieve Cogman, author of the invisible Library series*

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, 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, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle, 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, author of the Earthsea series, on Uprooted*

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 Sword Catcher on Uprooted*

This gorgeous, complex, and magical novel . . . rises well above a mere modern re-imagining of classic tales . . . This is the kind of book that one might wish to inhabit forever
*Publishers Weekly, Starred Review*

A remarkable achievement . . . Confirms a huge step forward for Novik
*SFX Magazine, 5 Stars*

Novik has created something that deserves to be a sure fire hit - a tale that's ancient, contemporary, traditional and yet forward thinking
*The Bookbag, 5 Stars*

Novik outdoes herself in Spinning Silver . . . A fairy tale in the most epic of ways, but one with a strong, proud and beautiful heart at the centre of it
