Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh (Best Novel)
This is one I read because of you all! I had it on my TBR, and it got the most votes to be my next read. This is a sapphic sci-fi story about Kyr, who has been trained as a soldier her whole life, eager to take revenge on the alien threat that destroyed Earth. But when she’s assigned not as a solider, but to the Nursery to endlessly bear children, she starts questioning everything she’s been taught. This is such a thought-provoking book, and Kyr changes dramatically from beginning to end. Part of her character development is realizing that she’s queer — something she was raised to despise. This book takes such a turn. I’m still thinking about it long after reading it, and it’s one I’d love to discuss with other readers.
