Tesh does not allow easy answers or uncomplicated decisions in Some Desperate Glory. But nothing is as it seems and this ‘noble cause’ that Kyr is raised to believe in, begins to show cracks. A universe in which Earth has been obliterated and now humanity is on a crusade to enact justice? Count me in. TW: sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexual assault, child abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide, eugenics, genocideįrom the premise alone, Some Desperate Glory intrigued me. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. But when Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons until she dies trying, she knows she must take humanity’s revenge into her own hands.Īlongside her brother’s brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, she escapes from everything she’s ever known into a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could have imagined.
Kyr is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. Raised in the bowels of Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she readies herself to face the Wisdom, the all-powerful, reality-shaping weapon that gave the Majoda their victory over humanity. SummaryĪll her life Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. But all of a sudden at around halfway through, something changed and I became obsessed. I was certainly compelled because books where the main character has to question everything they know are normally my thing. Some Desperate Glory is a book that crept up on me.
