Outlawed is a well written book that explores heavy topics (infertility, racism, sexism, religious bigotry) through the experiences of women in the late 1800s. I read this very quickly and I would recommend this book! But I did not realize that this book would focus on the past experiences of these outlaw women and not the thieving/crimes of them once they were outlaws.

Sort of an Old West Crucible; as described on the back. I've been in quite the reading slump recently and this was the perfect book to get me out of it. It was well paced and action packed. It features a diverse cast of characters centring around queer people and women. Ada is also an incredibly endearing protagonist forced to swiftly grow up. The world is wonderfully built and lets the reader escape to the world of cowboys and outlaws. Definitely worth the read!
