This conclusion to the Gold Seer Trilogy has our crew of miners planning a heist to bring down a major political player in California. They have to figure out how to outsmart the people who would hold them back and hold them down (and cheat them out of what they deserve). While I didn’t love this conclusion to the series quite as much as I enjoyed the first two books (mostly due to the way the ending played out with their whole plot being explained instead of us seeing it), I’m still glad I got to witness Leah’s happy ending. And I do love the focus on the racial and gender inequalities of the wild west. I also really loved that Leah’s “witchy” powers were a major factor in their success. These books make me want to read more historicals from this time period, and that right there is a ringing endorsement.
