Mostly because unlike UPROOTED, SPINNING SILVER has a real life connection to it. And though SPINNING SILVER got that in similar with UPROOTED, the former is a lot more symbolic and meaningful than the latter. Though the Goodreads synopsis was vague, I somehow got the idea that it was about another tale of a supernatural creature stealing away a maiden for some gain. When I started this book, I was already anticipating great things from Naomi Novik, given how some of my friends and a lot of Goodreads reviewers were saying SPINNING SILVER is better than UPROOTED. I started this book immediately after finishing UPROOTED (one of the most memorable books of my life!) and I gotta say, SPINNING SILVER somehow surpassed even that! My thoughts are all jumbled and scattered only because this book shattered me to the utmost and in a really good way.
