Publishers Weekly
A thrillingly told space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and the path you must forge when every choice is stripped from you. Some Desperate Glory is the highly anticipated debut novel from Astounding Award and World Fantasy Award-Winner, Emily Tesh.
All her life, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the destruction of planet Earth. Raised on Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet.
Then Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons, and she knows she must take humanity's revenge into her own hands. Alongside her brother's brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr must escape from everything she's ever known. If she succeeds, she will find a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could ever have imagined

Tamsyn Muir, New York Times-bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth

This book broke me
A little something different this time. This is an absolutely astounding queer space opera. The trigger warning reads like one of my dark romance reads, but it is vastly different and thus it should be taken very seriously. We get a totalitarian system that thoroughly structures every little aspect of life for the cause of revenge for humanity and a destroyed earth against a seemingly overwhelming alien threat. What is it like to grow up in such a system? What happens if you get to experience life through a different lense? Will your perspective on said system change? The protagonist (Val)Kyr has to face these questions and oh so many more. She is extremely unlikable at first (duh, given the circumstances she grows up in) so if that is something you can't stand, maybe skip this one. If you don't, you will be treated with a story that pulls no punches, and man did they hit me in the gut. Repeatedly. But after having cried my eyes out all I want to do is thank the author for this incredible ride.
