As a fairly dedicated Cannonballer, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to read Uprooted. After Hillary M, yesknopemaybe, narfna, alwaysanswerb, Quorren, Caitlin, crystalclear, Malin, and ElCicco all gave this book either 4 or 5 stars, I should have downloaded without hesitation, or gone out to the bookstore and bought it.

Put Seven in the Series Title, But Then Only Make Six Books
I know my past reviews of this series have not been great, but that’s because it had so much potential and it just kind of meandered all over the place.

(Amazon assures me that there are individual copies available, but I have my doubts as the series is hard to come by as it is.) Honestly, the heft of this one makes me yearn for a parallel world where Nix got to fully explore and fill in the details of Aenir and the Castle […]
