A review by kumipaul
The Outlander by Gil Adamson

3.0

Gil Adamson’s love of poetry comes through in her writing. I like her use of language but sometimes the poetic phrasing gets a little excessive. The story is a decent adventure of a young woman on the run through the Canadian wilderness with few skills and no preparation for survival. She meets up with a few interesting characters along the way who help her to survive as she attempts to elude her pursuers. Though the story takes place in Canada, I never got a sense of the place, as it could have happened in any cold area. This was a little disappointing. Actually, I was more drawn to her next book “Ridgerunner”, but felt I might appreciate it more by reading this book first since they seemed to be closely related. Looking forward to reading more from Adamson.
