具体描述
“Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.
But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
作者简介
An avid reader of fantasy literature since age six, when she first made her way through The Lord of the Rings, Naomi Novik is also a history buff with a particular interest in the Napoleonic era and a fondness for the work of Patrick O’Brian and Jane Austen. She studied English literature at Brown University, and did graduate work in computer science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadow of Undrentide. Over the course of a brief winter sojourn spent working on the game in Edmonton, Canada (accompanied by a truly alarming coat that now lives brooding in the depths of her closet), she realized she preferred writing to programming, and on returning to New York, decided to try her hand at novels.
Naomi lives in New York City with her husband and six computers. Her website is at naominovik.com

读后感
随着西方文化的大量渗透，魔法、精灵、吸血鬼、恶魔等等元素成了我们熟知甚至于习以为常的事物。在小说魔戒、哈利波特掀起热潮的时候，我们热切的盼望着能够引进更多的西方魔幻主题的书籍。与此同时，国内的一些网络作者也开始大量创作以西方魔法元素为背景的网络小说，一时之...
评分可能，更适合青少年看？看过为数不多的科幻都是阿西莫夫的机器人和基地系列还有三体，所以关于设定和世界观我可能。。评价不太客观？这本书的脉络很清晰，关于少女成长，关于情绪和人性的描写都比较真实和易懂，有助于认清自己的情绪并且接纳这样一个不完美的自己；关于龙君，...
评分乍一翻开2016年美国科幻星云奖最佳长篇小说《无根之木》，读者可能会感觉不屑：这看起来就是一个已经被写过无数遍的最传统的奇幻小说，甚至像是个童话——一个被称作“龙”的可怖巫师每十年都从村落里挑选一个处女作为献祭品，这十年间，村里的人包括女主角阿格涅什卡都以为会...
评分读了小一半，我来找一找目前书中出现的元素: 1.龙抓少女的献祭仪式（类似《他是龙》那种） 2.五十度斯内普+速速石化 3.长发公主，和长发公主中用平底锅（书中为餐盘）敲王子头的梗 4.百合动不动就互相握手，互相拥抱，互相。。。 5.《金枝》中的五朔节树（书中的蜡烛树）加上各...
评分《无根之木》是一部立世宝典（认真脸），有怎样的疑问，在读的过程中都能找到想要的答案。 生而为人，欲望总是源源不断，有时如泉水溪流，有时如江河大海……有时声声作响，有时奔腾咆哮（想笑）。 不知道是什么时候，我开始意识到，自己的性格在生活中产生诸多负面影响（比如...

终于让我把这本书看完了，整体故事其实还不错，文笔也挺好的，但是女主和Dragon的感情线真的是让我几欲弃书。然后结局是个人与自然和谐相处的寓意么？好吧还说的过去，但是感觉真的没有很好看啊，所以为啥他能得星云奖呢，难道那年的提名作品都很差么...
评分很好看，Novik一向非常会讲故事。喜欢世界观和最后非暴力解决问题的方式。爱情情节略嫌多余。总体说来，无愧于星云奖。
评分看得完全停不下来呜。人物塑造和情节都非常出彩，故事节奏和世界展开的方式显示出作者一定是个老手。女主虽然有点全能，但并不太过分。浓烈的斯拉夫风情再加一星。
评分Novik大大文笔是真的好，但这情节是真的…没有新意，“乡村少女和斯内普哈哈哈哈哈哈”
评分Astolat巨巨的星云奖===看了三分之一依然有些搞不懂主题，感觉主角背景水很深，可是我猜不出，ps11章才有情感进展===奔溃了，看到70%了我还是不太理解为什么能拿奖
