Review: Uprooted

Uprooted by Naomi Novik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read a couple of reviews that mentioned a "strange, Eastern European accent" of the narrator, so naturally, I was intrigued enough to go and check it out. I'm glad I did - it was a pleasure to return to this book. I'm pretty sure I'll read it again sometime, it's that good (though not without flaws). As for the accent... it was nice enough to listen to. At some points I suspected that the accent was fake, because there were noticeable inconsistencies in pronunciation. Either way, the story wasn't ruined being read aloud. It wasn't quite enriched, but that would be too much of an expectation. The narrator got Sarkan all wrong for my taste, but even he was bearable after all.
