In Uprooted, did you enjoy ...

... the blend of Eastern European folklore and rich, immersive fantasy?

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

If you loved the lush, fairy-tale atmosphere and Slavic-inspired world of Uprooted, you'll be swept away by Spinning Silver. It weaves together the stories of three women facing dangerous magic, icy fae, and impossible bargains—all rooted in folklore and myth. Novik's worldbuilding is just as detailed and evocative, making the setting feel alive and haunting.

... a heroine’s journey of personal growth and transformation?

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

Vasilisa, like Agnieszka in Uprooted, is a young woman who finds herself at odds with her village and must grow into her power to protect those she loves. The Bear and the Nightingale beautifully traces her development as she confronts ancient spirits and discovers her own strength.

... a protagonist discovering and navigating mysterious, loosely defined magic?

Sorcerer To The Crown by Zen Cho

If the mysterious, wild magic in Uprooted captivated you, Sorcerer to the Crown offers a similarly enchanting approach. Here, magic is unpredictable and not fully understood, and protagonist Prunella must learn to wield it in a society that fears her power. The sense of wonder and danger will feel familiar and fresh.

... the emotional and hopeful tone that shines through dark circumstances?

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

Much like Uprooted, The Girl Who Drank the Moon finds hope, kindness, and warmth even in the midst of darkness and danger. Luna’s journey is filled with magic and peril, but the story’s heart and optimism shine through, leaving you with a sense of wonder and comfort.

... a standalone fantasy with a deeply satisfying emotional payoff?

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

If the emotional resolution and growth in Uprooted left you deeply satisfied, you’ll appreciate The Goblin Emperor. Maia’s journey from powerless outcast to a compassionate emperor is filled with moving moments of vulnerability, courage, and hard-won belonging—all in a single, self-contained story.
