A review by mar
Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

challenging dark medium-paced

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

5.0

Content Warnings

Graphic: Confinement, Sexual violence, and Colonisation

Moderate: Rape, Violence, and Murder

Minor: Homophobia, Suicidal thoughts, and Transphobia

this book is difficult to write concrete content warnings for, but consent is a major theme and the book includes many scenes of violated and questionable consent (not just in reference to sex)
