Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh

challenging dark tense slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Initially I was turned off by the unlikeable protagonist, but overall felt that the large themes the book was exploring were not examined with the nuance I had hoped. A few scenes at the end were confusing (in terms of being out of character and just didn't need to be included), which overall resulted in a lower rating. After the halfway point I was intrigued by the twist, but again, I feel they did not stick the landing.
