A review by plagued_by_visions
Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

A novel about power, the order of humanity, and the ravaging toll of love and sacrifice. Octavia Butler here imagines the end of humanity, the start of something new, and our refusal to shed our convictions and flaws, and how these flaws have come to define our comfort and identity. Absolutely, without a doubt, the most impactful science fiction novel I have ever read, along with her other work, Kindred.
