i didn’t super love eliza (or joaquin) but to me they were the vehicle for a fun story. if you make it through eliza’s suffocating family and the first half of the book in valparaiso, the gold rush in california is a rollicking adventure. (also cw so much racism—i believe it is to give evidence of how cruel it was back then but it’s still jarring.) also on that note i think tao’s storyline was a bit of a stereotype.
and i don’t know why the quickness of the ending and the allusions to stories that get left untold didn’t bother me, i felt like i got enough of each story.
