Why read it?
1 author picked The Dawnhounds as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book has one of the most refreshing and terrifying take on the concept of immortality that I’ve ever seen. I love it because of how it tackles policing, what it means to be a decent person, and how power unchecked will inevitably consume all it touches. Also, it’s extremely queer, and the prickly immortals were just too hard not to fall in love with.
From Brent's list on fantasy happening in modern-inspired worlds.
