A surprisingly fast read, the themes of "Outlawed" answer the social issues women and LGBTQ+ folks have been facing for hundreds of years. Placing women and LGBTQ+ characters into a landscape that is usually not represented for us, the book is a refreshing spin on adventurous westerns and non-male centered love stories. Although North leaves much to be desired, regarding character development, the book leaves readers on a hopeful note, and for me personally, with a new love for western adventures.
