Book #89: Like A River Glorious, by Rae Carson

I really, really love this series. I mean, I love Rae's books in general (her first trilogy is marvellous, if you have the chance to read it), but this one is just plain good.

Lee and her companions have made it to California, but their trials aren't over yet. Lee's murderous uncle still wants her, she still has a dangerous superpower, and California is not an easy place. But they work and they trust and they learn, and they make a new home.

I love that Lee at her deepest suffering can recognize that others have it worse, and that she acknowledges her privilege even when she has been betrayed by it. She knows her job isn't over, and in the end, it's herself that saves her, not her power.

I am very, very interested in what happens next.
