A review by mtstellens
Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

4.0

A book that I’m sore I will be thinking about the meaning and implications of for a long time. The earth is mostly dead and aliens have taken the few remaining survivors and plan to breed with them to make a new race and ‘save’ both species. So many questions of consent when one species is so much more advanced than the other. Also all of the mind binding world building in the science, language and ways of being dealt with in this book. I’m so excited to read the rest of this series.
