Two-sentence review:

A high-action romp in the Wild West, Outlawed drives home a narrative of found family, acceptance, and perseverance. I would recommend this book for those who love ‘spunky’ heroines, ‘on the run’ stories, and diverse characters.

I quite enjoyed the characters I got to know through this book, the settings, and the journey we go on as the characters develop and learn. This is a fun feminist western that brings a new perspective to the genre.

Feminist adventure set in the wild wild west

A thrilling and inspiring story about a woman who knows she's worth more than the fate she is assigned. I loved the immediate focus on science and feminism, especially set in a time where these were not popular topics.
The characters were diverse with fascinating backstories and the author wasn't shy in taking them away from us.
Loved the happy ending, I was positive we weren't going to get one.
