Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson

Review can be found on *Milky Way of Books*.
"Walk on Earth a Stranger" was one of the best cowboy-western books I've read in 2015. Rae Carson is a top author for me, since the day I discovered her debut series "Girl of Fire and Thorns".
In the sequel Lee and her firends begin their lives as they try to settle in California. There's almost no law, there are thieves and suspicious people and Lee's uncle still wants her for her gift.
I truly enjoyed the sequel. There is action from the first scene and also love blossoms not only for Lee but also for other characters as well. Many issues are also touched in this book. The behavior against Native Americans, how the Chinese did play an important role in this time of the American history as also how religion can be used for selfish reasons.
Despite Lee's fear, she still manages to be a strong willed girl with her favorite horse and Jefferson. I loved how sweet their relationship became, keeping the appropriate social rules of course. And while most of the first book's enemies were finally gone in this book, I still can't help but feel that another, more powerful one has appeared.
I can only hope that the final book will be just as amazing as these two have been so far. ;)
