Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
Thank you to Netgalley and Little Brown Book Group for the ARC to read for an honest review.
Some Desperate Glory follows Kyr who has been trained her whole life to avenge the murder of planet Earth. Raised on Gaea station with the last of humanity, they are all training to face the Wisdom a reality shaping weapon that aided the Majoda in their victory over humanity.
However when Kyr's brother is assigned to certain death and relegates her to nursery Kyr knows she must take the mission into her own hands.
Alongside Avi a friend of her brother and a captive alien she's escapes from the station into a different universe to what she was taught that is more wonderous than could be imagined.
I have to admit I did not think this story was going to be for me and I will admit that I was completely wrong. This book was a fantastic queer Sci-fi novel.
It was smart, well plotted out and very well written.
Kyr our main protagonist can be hard headed and frustrating at times throughout the story. However her character has the most growth and the book gives a good message on learning to be empathetic in a cruel world.
The book has so many twists and turns and time slips that it's impossible to guess how the ending is going to go.
If you are a fan of the science fiction genre I would really recommend this story and I fully regret skipping the Illumicrate box that had this book in it.
