I LOVED this book! The adventure was fast-paced and exhilarating while also making your heart pound with intensity. The characters are lovable and I loved seeing how their flaws played into their actions through the story. With that being said, sometimes the fast-paced was a little too fast, making it hard to truly feel the impact of some of the scenes. But I would definitely read this book again!

Outlawed is a well written book that explores heavy topics (infertility, racism, sexism, religious bigotry) through the experiences of women in the late 1800s. I read this very quickly and I would recommend this book! But I did not realize that this book would focus on the past experiences of these outlaw women and not the thieving/crimes of them once they were outlaws.

A gay western meets the dystopia of Handmaids Tale. North writes intricate characters that push the narrative of understanding what makes us different does not make us less than. A great feminist read.
