Naomi Novik’s is probably known to most people as the author of the Temeraire books, which is a fantasy series about dragonriders fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. Her book Uprooted is a standalone not set in that world. It takes the aura of a traditional fairytale, mixes in some Polish culture, and finally combines it with a coming of age/romance story … and yes there is a dragon, albeit this dragon just so happens to be a wizard that everyone calls the Dragon.
