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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
