![]() ![]() Most reviews compare this book to The Handmaid’s Tale, which I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t read or even seen the TV series. But for the sake of this review I did some quick research into Canadian national treasure Margaret Atwood’s novel and can confirm: Outlawed is very that. It’s the perfect inverse of Sci-Fi, because it’s about an alternate past so f*cked up that people have completely shunned science for religion. It’s a young adult Western, but also fantastic dystopian historical fiction, and even further an excellent addition to LGBTQ+ fiction. ![]() It’s the best feeling when a book gives you a truly fresh and unique take on a genre, and Outlawed does exactly that. I kind of hate it, because I wish I wrote it myself. ![]() There ought to be a law against writing a book as good as Outlawed. Author: Anna North Published: 2021 Mood: If you care about women’s and LGBTQ+ rights and want a fresh Western novel that smoothly blends your favourite genre with hauntingly familiar issues. ![]()
