A review by emileereadsbooks
The Outlaw Noble Salt by Amy Harmon

3.5

I'm not sure what to feel about this book. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work overall for me. 

What did work for me: 
-Amy Harmon's beautiful writing. She can paint a picture with words that I feel like I can step into. 
-The draw between Butch and Jane. They just fit together. 
-The character of Augustus. I loved him. He was plucky and dear and the perfect addition to this story. 

What didn't work for me: 
-The fact that this love story of Butch Cassidy's wasn't real. The whole time the fact that I didn't really happen just niggled at my brain. 
-The pacing. This book was too slow for me. I was always impatient fort the next thing.

Content Note: This is a fade to black historical romance. There are vague descriptions of sexual assault, mentions of suicide, and gun violence.
