"The Crucible meets True Grit in this riveting adventure story of a fugitive girl, a mysterious gang of robbers, and their dangerous mission to transform the Wild West. In the year of our Lord 1894, I became an outlaw. The day of her wedding, 17 year old Ada's life looks good; she loves her husband, and she loves working as an apprentice to her mother, a respected midwife. But after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a town where barren women are routinely hanged as witches, her survival depends on leaving behind everything she knows. She joins up with the notorious Hole in the Wall Gang, a band of outlaws led by a preacher-turned-robber known to all as the Kid. Charismatic, grandiose, and mercurial, the Kid is determined to create a safe haven for outcast women. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang hatches a treacherous plan that may get them all killed. And Ada must decide whether she's willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for them all. Featuring an irresistibly no-nonsense, courageous, and determined heroine, Outlawed dusts off the myth of the old West and reignites the glimmering promise of the frontier with an entirely new set of feminist stakes. Anna North has crafted a pulse-racing, page-turning saga about the search for hope in the wake of death, and for truth in a climate of small-mindedness and fear"-- Provided by publisher.

I really wanted to like this more than I did submitted by TeacherN on June 15, 2022, 5:53pm Though I appreciated the trans and non-gendered characters, the book just didn't grab me.

Nope submitted by emroon on July 15, 2022, 3:46pm This book was in an alternate reality but that was not made clear. The treatment of non cisgender characters was strange and often I felt like they were infantilized. It was not very nuanced and didn’t feel realistic. The plot was also disappointing. The only reason this gets one star is because the potential of a feminist western is such a good idea and this did not deliver at all.

Interesting take on Westerns submitted by aminarce on July 17, 2023, 2:22pm This modern feminist take on the classic American Western is imaginative and enjoyable enough, but I admired its inventiveness more than I loved it.
