3.5
I give Outlawed
๐๐๐โจ 3.5/5 (rounded up)
โ ๏ธTW: abortion, miscarrying, and mainly infertility are constant themes and subject matters throughout this story as a whole. If those are sensitive subjects for you or are just things you'd rather not read, this may not be the book for you.
I give 3.5/5 because while the story is an original one, that takes inspiration from history and makes it its own; I was left at the end with loose ends unfinished.

- Not a particularly long story, 12 chapters total, but still full of action, adventure, and steady pacing that gives course of events a natural feel.
- This is not your typical western, nor is it a factual account of the Hole in the Wall Gang. It is inspiration, and other than some names of characters, the similarities pretty much stop there.
- Women posse, women posse, women posse!!! ๐
- year 1894-95, LGBTQA+ representation.
- women taking control of their own bodies, their own fates, proving that they are just as capable as anyone else in an era that only saw women as "good for" maybe a handful of things.
- Felt a little lacking in POC representation if I'm being honest.
- Interactions between characters and the society as a whole felt genuine and on par for how things were done or viewed, especially regarding women, and what they were valued for.
- A bit melancholy of an ending, but a suitable one all things considered.
There are enough loose ends that I still want answers for, and some things plain left unfinished, but this story is still really original and worth a gander.

I can see myself reading this book again in the future. I will always hold all of the characters in it dear to my heart. It was a challenging, but realistic, and exciting adventure. Would recommend this to anyone.
