Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
dark
slow-paced
2.0
Some Desperate Glory is a slow-burn space opera with a nice found family vibe that follows Kyr a young soldier raised on Gaea Station who has trained her whole life to avenge the murder of planet Earth. While it tries to tackle some very serious issues it addresses them by having the main characters actually be racist, homophobic, xenophobic and more, with the idea that by the end of the book the MC recognises that this way of thinking is wrong. Unfortunately, the depth and sensitivity it needed to pull this off were lacking so the characters are often offensive.
