A review by reyahroks
Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

challenging dark reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This is definitely meant to be a thought provoking book and it is going to leave you feeling no resolve. Again that is the intention of the book, it’s not meant to feel like a definitive ending is reach. It will have you questioning what the heck you just read.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Sexual harassment

Minor: Death

The sexual assault scene is brief and not in topic. This is a mature book, and the scene is definitely important for the overran comment the book is making. Don’t worry though it never goes further than a few hits.
