A fun, easy read that I hope isn't the last about these people, that end was telling. I really liked Sev and Ori, individually and as a couple. Even though there's plenty of time for things to happen, it was sort of quick paced and didn't feel like months passed, but I don't say this negatively, IMHO, it gave fluidity to the story. Oh, another reason for hoping to revisit them is to learn more about the world building, how the orbs are made, when it all started, more of Sev saying nonsensical Australian stuff, yada yada yada.

I really struggled to put this book down.In fact when I had 50% still left I couldn't so I stayed up way too late to finish it.

I love the banter between the mc and the building of their relationship.

I enjoyed every aspect of this book.

Outcast by KJ is an utterly unique romantic fantasy with delightful characters, beautiful imagery, a realm I’d love to visit, and an engaging storyline. If you are someone who normally shies away from fantasy, I would recommend giving this book a whirl because it’s much different from the usual. If fantasy is your jam, then you definitely don’t want to miss out on this. KJ has really done a masterful job!

If you’ve ever read a book by KJ you know you can expect certain things: quirky characters, beautiful flowing rambles, and a whole lot of heart. 
What might shock you to know is that this latest release also includes: magic, horses, babes in leather, and sword wielding, along with many other incredible things. Outcast is sapphic portal urban fantasy as its finest. 

I laughed many times throughout reading Outcast. From Sev’s internal thoughts, the way she confuses just about everyone she comes in contact with - at least after she steps through the back door of an unsuspecting laundromat - with her colloquialism. 

My heart squeezed a little (don’t worry, no sobbing uncontrollably in this fun adventure) while simultaneously laughing. 

KJ has mastered the perfect all knowing maternal characters that I simply adore. 

Just a few of the many quotes I have highlighted throughout this adventure:
- They won’t take me seriously because I’m a flaky artist who sells at a flaky market and has a flaky story. God, I’m basically puff-pastry.
- With her inflamed words, Sev had taken hold of Ori’s breath, her gaze, her consciousness.
- the horizon where the sun would soon be falling over its edge.
- It was all a bit Lord of the Rings. Next she’d see elves wandering about the corridors and Cate Blanchett calling forth the service of her people. That last bit would be perfectly fine.
- “Well, I think I will leave you two to chat. It has been wonderful to spectate this conversation, however there are many tasks I must suddenly create so I am able to depart somewhat authentically.” Jino threw a look of innocence at both of them. (BWA HAHAHA)
