So Uprooted’s BIGGEST missed opportunity is Agnieszka/Kasia, no doubt no doubt, BUT
Its SECOND-biggest missed opportunity is when Agnieska has to go to Kralia and try to reason with the King, and she has absolutely no allies to help her–even when she says in the very beginning of the book that most of the Dragon’s girls go to the Kralia
Many of them attend University and become scholars, and then there’s the fine old lady Jadwiga Bach, who was the mistress of several members of the nobility.
Now I’m dying for a version of the story where Agnieska takes on the Court with the help of a middle-aged archivist and an 80-year-old former courtesan. (Your picture was not posted)
