 Outlawed was a book far different than anything I’ve read before. It was introspective, had great amounts of social commentary, and represented all different kinds of groups. The story seems to drag on for most of the book, but once tension builds at the end everything begins to make sense. We learn so much about the outlaws in Hole in the Wall individually and even more once they’re all put together. You follow Ada the entire way through, but characters like News, Agnes Rose, and Lark are their own personalities that don’t just help Ada. Outlawed advocates for everyone represented in it and tells readers of the intricacies when everything is put into the big picture. I just love Outlawed -- I learned so much more than I expected.
