I'm afraid that my expectations for this title were too high. When I saw Outlawed being marketed as a feminist western, I knew that I had to get my hands on it. However, I never really felt connected to any of the characters (including Ada, the protagonist). With that being said, I do want to commend North, the author, on her ability to create the settings for each scene. Her descriptions of the places Ada goes throughout the book were extensive and I could really visualize each town, camp, jail, etc. Finally, the ending was so abrupt! It almost felt like the author didn't know how to end the book and just settled with a conclusion that didn't give much resolution. I am curious as to whether or not there will be a sequel to this title in the future. The novel could easily be expanded upon due to all the loose ends the author leaves.
