Very heavy, very dark, and very emotional. Dawn provides an interesting glimpse into the lives of ordinary citizens dealing with unfortunate circumstances. I nearly cried at the end of several of the short stories. The book is gripping, full of content warnings, and has an intriguing political message. It's very nicely written, but definitely not for if you're already feeling bad.
