I agree with the comparison of Uprooted to early Robin McKinley. There are a number of more recent fantasy novels (as opposed to things that existed when I was the target age) aimed primarily at the YA audience and aiming to give teens female characters with whom they identify, and many of them seem to miss somehow with me.

Re the ending of the novel Circe (highlight to read spoiler): she falls in love with Telemachus some time after he arrives at her island, Penelope replaces Circe as the enchantress of the island (both of which I anticipated once it became clear that neither of them hated Circe), and Circe eventually works her transformation magic on herself to become mortal (which surprised me and which I did not feel was quite right for the character as depicted in the rest of the story).
