Dawn is an interesting tale about what it means to be human, and ultimately I think it’s a story about depersonalization and loss of agency. About struggling toward any kind of freedom you can against impossible “well meaning” odds. Many times I wanted to cry for Lilith in this book. She was constantly giving and trying, only to be left behind at every turn.
