![]() ![]() ![]() A fully realized story which goes down an unexpected road, with characters you’ll quickly grow fond of, a world covered in winter’s magic, and to top it all off…one hell of a memorable last line! Uprooted left me wanting more of the same, and in Spinning Silver, I got it–and so much more. If you haven’t read it but would like to know more, I have a short recommendation for you! For the first time had I read an author who recaptured that very special feeling of magic and wonder which I hadn’t felt since those childhood nights spent listening to my grandmother tell Russian and Bulgarian fairy tales. Beyond the nostalgia lay a very atmospheric, character-driven story that is well-worth the read. Novik’s love for Slavic folklore shined through. ![]() Novik’s previous novel, Uprooted, was a 2015 favourite of mine. Naomi Novik spins gold in this excellent new standalone novel, which perfectly captures the essence of Slavic fairy tales while doing an excellent job of turning the classical Rumplestiltskin tale on its heels. ![]()
