My Review
Uprooted is such an amazing and fun adventure! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
Hest is a young guy, a teenager that lives in a simple part of the realm. He has never seen trees and there is no much light. After his parents passed away the inn keeper took him in. He is a stable boy who loves to take care of the horses. One day when a mysterious man comes by the inn and seen talking to and then paying the inn keeper. The next thing Hest knows he is being told to get his stuff and that he is going to be leaving with the man. He thinks that he has been sold as a slave but he will soon find out that his new position is so much more. With no idea what will happen next Hest leaves behind his life to begin a new one in a part of the realm that he has only heard stories about.
Once Hest leaves with the man is when the story gets really adventurous. Hest is thrown into situations and battles that he has no idea how to deal with. I loved when they made it to his new home at the castle. He meets so many new people, gets a horse of his own, starts a whole new life and will even meet a dragon. Things are not all good though. There are people that want the king dead and that want to take over the kingdom. Hest will have to decide who he can really trust and wonder what will happen next?
This story and the plot was so well written. The author did an amazing job on the story building. I just loved reading this and am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. If you love fantasy than I recommend you read this book. You will not be disappointed, it is so good! This e-book was provided to me for an honest review.
