Dawn by Octavia E. Butler
challenging
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I read this for a Patreon-hosted book club. Being the first in a triology, it does decent worldbuilding, but I'm not so sure that it has the pacing to keep me going in the series. Not bad, not great ... I will have to wait a bit to decide if I will continue with the other two books.
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Abandonment, Colonisation, Violence, Confinement, Self harm, Sexual violence, and Medical trauma
