Review of 'Dawn' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Fascinating read (and a breezy one, too!); I really liked the premise and the worldbuilding in this, just incredibly imaginative and overflowing with opportunities for ethical and social dilemmas. I read in other reviews people call the main character annoying or obstinate, but I found myself understanding her positions more often than not. I'll have to read the rest of the trilogy, as the book is a major tease and doesn't even begin to resolve the plot by the end.
