Was not as good as Uprooted. I think Uprooted had some flaws (silly ending, Mary Sue main character) that were minimized by the general pace of the book and the likability of Agnieska. Spinning Silver is paced much slower, and suffers from the lack of a strong main character. Miryem is fine, but the inclusion of multiple points of view was overall a weakness. I dreaded reading Stepon sections - child POVs are best avoided in my opinion.
