Outlawed is the most boring book I’ve read this year. The characters aren’t fleshed out an Ada is a one-trick pony narrator. The characters had so much potential to be great, but they never had enough page time to make an impression. Also, there are simultaneously too many and not enough characters? What?!
There’s so much potential in this book, but it falls completely flat for me.

I love that it takes the narrative of oppression and twists it into one of empowerment. I love the angle of “chosen family” being set in the desert, segregated from society both by choice and by necessity. I love the idea of “outlaws” and “outcasts” being one in the same. Because outcasts are viewed as outlaws — as scapegoats to make them criminals.
The characters are easy to love. The book is the perfect length.
I love the subtle inclusion of queer characters. From trans to gay to bisexual. And yet this is mentioned without it being a big deal. There are no big moments of “coming out.” It’s just matter-of-fact.
I give books 5 stars based on how memorable it is for me. So time will tell if I come back and change my rating to a 5.
