The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang

---

This was my first read where a character’s gender identity was exactly like mine so this book will always have a special place in my heart. 

Genesis of Misery is a queer normative and diverse retelling of Joan of Arc as an epic space opera of religious prophets, mental health, giant ass mechs, and political fanaticism!  Each character immediately had their chosen pronouns listed and it was so straightforward that it was refreshing.

This narration story telling style might not be for everyone but it was totally for me. I highly advise checking content warnings as there was a scene that made me full stop and pull away for some time. However, I still recommend if you can consent with content warnings.
