I never read a book about the gold rush, so your review spiked my interest. Great review, you explain the book perfectly.

I don't like the use of the term "mixed breed" to describe human beings because the word "breed" has an animalistic connotation to it. "Mixed race" would be a better phrase to use. Nevertheless, your review was interesting. You clearly stated what you liked and disliked about the story. Because I enjoy historical fiction, I find this book fascinating. The Gold Rush era must have been quite an exciting time!

Thank you for your expressive review.

Wonderful review! I love such stories, but I understand your concerns about this book :) I would still love to read it because I love gold rush themed novels!

It sounds like an interesting historical book. I may choose it for the fact that it is not too lengthy. Thank you for a beautiful review. Congratulations.
