Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
5.0

Wow. I don't think I've ever read a book like this. Maybe I just don't read enough westerns? I don't know. But this was like a historical western fantasy novel and I loved it.

Basically, take the old computer game Oregon Trail and turn it into a book. Then add in murder, a girl who must disguise herself as a boy, and a magical ability to sense the location of gold.

I mean, it's kind of awesome.

On top if that, the characters are well developed and have such great growth, the plot is fantastic, and the writing is phenomenal. I don't think I've ever binge read a series before, but I am starting the second book immediately.
