maybe the most disappointed in a book i've been in a long time. queerness is made both accessory and token, and the story north is trying to tell in no way justifies the alternate history she's created for it. absolutely wild to me that you can set out to purport that biological essentialism is bad (but perhaps i'm giving her too much credit?) and then come up with a book that is... very much supportive of biological essentialism. even aside from my own icky feelings about outlawed as a queer person, so much of what north has done here feels like craft malpractice.

I appreciated the female outlaw aspect and the protection they provided each other while pushing against societal norms. Overall it wasn’t my favorite book just because I prefer a different genre but I don’t think i would tel anyone it isn’t worth reading. If it’s on your tbr keep it on there
