Uprooted

This was the Sword and Laser book club pick for August. I feel like this book tried to do too many things and ended up not doing any of them particularly well.

The f-yeah-friends-forever plot line is one that is being heavily praised, and I can see why, but I kept waiting for the shoe to drop on Kasia as well: having been taken and subsequently rescued from the Wood, but with almost zero lasting effects? Ehh. I couldn't trust the friendship at all because I was waiting for Kasia to betray everything.

It was a quick readable tale, but not one I feel the need to reread to get into the minutiae.
