Publisher Description

The stunning conclusion to Rae Carson’s New York Times–bestselling Gold Seer trilogy

Leah Westfall’s journey has been one of ever-present peril, hidden magic, harsh realities, loss, life, determination, and love. She has searched for a place to belong and a place to call home, and people who can accept a girl with magical powers that prove to be both blessing and curse.

Rae Carson has been lauded as one of YA’s best writers of fantasy, and fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, and Westworld will be riveted by the conclusion of this remarkable historical fantasy trilogy.

Leah is poised to have everything she ever dreamed of on the long, dangerous journey to California’s gold fields—wealth, love, the truest friends, and a home. Thanks to her magical ability to sense precious gold, Leah, her fiancé Jefferson, and her friends have claimed rich land in California Territory. But their fortune makes them a target, and when a dangerous billionaire sets out to destroy them, Leah and her friends must fight back with all of their power and talents.

Leah’s magic is continuing to strengthen and grow, but someone is on to her—someone who might have a bit of magic herself. The stakes are higher than ever as Lee and her friends hatch a daring scheme that could alter California’s history forever.

With a distinctive heroine and a unique interpretation of American history, Into the Bright Unknown strikes a rich vein of romance, magic, and adventure.

“This series honestly could've ended as a duology because the last book.... didn't really make sense.... I liked it but... it was kinda unneeded. So this story picks off back in Glory once all the folks finally get settled after dealing with Hiram. Then they find out the person above Hiram who funded his mining project isn't keeping his end of the deal... in the end of the second book he seems like every other rich business man who, if they got their money, would keep up their end of the bargain. But the author was like "sike! You thought we were done with the rich?! Never!" And cue the Billionaire stealing all of San Francisco land (and Becky's baby daddy's house). The Billionaire (ill refer to him as such because.... i cant remember his name) seemed like such a rushed villain who just stole to steal... which is like... fine I guess but at least with Hiram he had a motive... NOT TO MENTION FRANK... HOW DID THAT MF SURVIVE BURING ALIVE LIKE WHAT Moving onto other issues.... I did like the further exploration of societal issues in this book as it went somewhat into more detail if women's right (meaning zero, zilch, nada) and the treatment of minorities, focusing on black people. Jim's character was a nice surprise return and I like how he pointed out Leah's hypocrisy at times but it wasn't out of malice but simply because she was an ignorant 16/17 year old... and a white woman... Also how in df did the man get shot in one clip and then live to tell the tale in the next clip... like what kinda Naruto sheet is that. Overall this book felt very rushed in plot and lackluster in villains and character growth as the author introduced more characters rather than developing the ones she already had *cough* Tom *cough* but I did enjoy it and was happy to see the couples I was routing for work out all in the end. Overall rating: 3.5”
