À propos de cet audio

 NEBULA AWARD WINNER • HUGO AWARD FINALIST • “If you want a fantasy with strong characters and brilliantly original variations on ancient stories, try Uprooted!”—Rick Riordan

“Breathtaking . . . a tale that is both elegantly grand and earthily humble, familiar as a Grimm fairy tale yet fresh, original, and totally irresistible.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, BuzzFeed, Tordotcom, BookPage, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly

Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.

Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. 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.

The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. 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. And there is no way to save her.

But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.

Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won’t want to put it down.”—NPR Aventure Fantastique Fantastique épique Fiction Magique Science-fiction Épique Dragons Sincère Utilisateurs magiques

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Uprooted has leapt forward to claim the title of Best Book I’ve Read Yet This Year. . . . Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won’t want to put it down.”—NPR

“A very enjoyable fantasy with the air of a modern classic . . . Naomi Novik skillfully takes the fairy-tale-turned-bildungsroman structure of her premise . . . and builds enough flesh on those bones to make a very different animal. . . . The vivid characters around her also echo their fairy-tale forebears, but are grounded in real-world ambivalence that makes this book feel quietly mature, its world lived-in.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Novik here delivers a tale that is funny and fast-paced, laced with hair-raising battle scenes and conspiracies; it also touches on deeper ecological concerns we grapple with today.”—The Washington Post

“Novik takes us on a surprise-filled journey. . . . The resulting warmth and intimacy provide a nicely nurturing environment for her heroine’s unusual adventures.”—The Seattle Times

“Drawing on her Polish heritage and fairy-tale tropes, [Novik] has penned an original and fully realized fantastical place guaranteed to enthrall her longtime fans and attract new readers. This exceptional fantasy for adult and teen readers should appeal to those who love fairy-tale influenced stories such as Robin McKinley’s Spindle’s End.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“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, bestselling author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon

“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, award-winning and bestselling author of The Earthsea cycle

“Uprooted has everything I love: a great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight.”—Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series

“Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could not stop reading this book and neither will you!”—Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Trickster’s Choice and Trickster’s Queen

“Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic.”—Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy

Beautifully written sometimes the narrator was a little choppy to listen to but great over all

Beautiful story

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
This would have been a really enjoyable story if it weren't for the narrator. An authentic Russian accent, for sure , but a stilted, monotone throughout and read as if she didn't understand what she was reading. When I researched the narrator, she was described as an actress. Beyond me how she could get employment as an actress,, given her terrible performance of this book. I would hope she could do better in her native tongue. Several times, I had to pause the book to figure out what the meaning was as her pronunciation of some words confused me. Her phrasing was way off to the point where sense was lost. Really too bad as she ruined the book for me. I think Audible should request another narrator for this book to do it justice. Hey, I'll even do it for free!

Ruined by the narrator.

This narrator voice was monotone and failed to captivate me. I found the plot twist sometimes made it feel choppy and it didn’t quite fit together smoothly. It lacked a consistent theory of how magic existed in the universe. For some reason, the author made all the characters dislikable in their own ways. The general concept for the story was good but overall I found it prosaic.

Mediocre story and a listless performance

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
the conception of magic is even more captivating and ingenious than "spinning silver", but it becomes more downplayed as the plot gains unwieldy complexity and becomes hard to understand. the narrator conveys passion and conviction, but also reads with an uneven rhythm that makes some sentences hard to follow. "spinning silver" is more coherent, but this book contains certain passages that achieve transcendence in their vivid, synesthetic description of how magic feels to use.

inspired, but uneven

Reads like a dark fairy tale in the realm of Princess Mononoke. I had trouble stopping.

Loved it!

Fantastic tale, can't recommend it highly enough. Narrator has an accent, but it goes well with the story.

I'm a big fan of Naomi Novik's work, but had a very hard time listening to this audiobook. The narrator's reading seemed forced and monotone, and didn't bring any of the characters to life for me. Sad to say, but I won't be listening to this audiobook again. Will certainly read it though!

Love the book but narrator was really wooden

Is Julia Emelin incredible? Is this book incredible? I feel like both are true, but what is undisputable is that the audiobook IS incredible. Julia is the perfect voice, accent and conveys the super super dry sense of humour in the book perfectly. I have listened to this book several times, and forced others to do the same. I am a huge fan of the intricate story, the setting, the magic and personalities. It feels so real and so rooted. It is by turns exciting, funny, scary, sad and sexy (just a bit!) #Audible1

The best-matched book and narrator ever

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
This is an awesome read and there is plenty of it. The main character is thoughtful, intelligent and her curiosity fuels the plot and the engagement of the reader to the book. I especially liked the accented presentation of the reader. It added to the reality of the main character and the ambience of the setting. It is almost like Baba Yagga meets Beauty and the Beast, but it is strong enough to stand on its own. Well done and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Great YA fantasy
