4.0

This book was somewhat short but full of so much action. Ling Fan was a very likable character, and her motives are very reasonable and human. While it was a little bit disappointing that there wasn’t any romance, it’s also a good thing because Ling Fan is an independent woman and didn’t fall in love with any of the men she was surrounded by. The author did a lot of research on the Transcontinental Railroad, even researching how the Native Americans were oppressed by this railroad and created a character to sympathize for them. Ling Fan was a very sympathetic person, often trying to find validity into why the antagonist was doing certain things.
