 I loved this book! It had a bit of everything that I was hoping for! It was even better than what I was expecting. I haven't read any historical fiction on the Gold Rush and it was such a fascinating topic. I loved the main character, Lee. She was kind of a Katniss, hunting to support her family, but had so much personality. The hardships with her disguising herself as a boy felt very realistic at the time period they were in. Rae Carson was spot on when it came to the sexism in this book. It was frustrating and I wanted to slap some of the men in this book. But at the same time I was so glad that it was done properly. I loved her friendship with Jefferson (and the fact that he's half Native American!) and how he supported her throughout the whole book. My one very minor issue is that I was hoping there to be a little more of a fantasy aspect to it. Hopefully, in the future books! Overall, this is on my favorites of 2015 and I can't wait to see what happens next with this trilogy.

 P.S. I'm hoping it's not a companion trilogy since I want more from Lee's perspective!
