Go team!

I have recently finished reading Emily Tesh's Some Desperate Glory.

I really enjoyed it! Here is my review:

1. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and also AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

2. Kyr: Are we the baddies?
Everyone: YES

3. Why is Avi named Avicenna? Everyone else born on Gaea is has a war related named (Valkyr, Victoria, etc) and then there's Avi. Just chilling over there, named after a doctor.

Explaining the title: Tesh comes from fandom (and I know for a fact two of the people in the acknowledgements are also from fandom) hence: go team!

I also liked that the acknowledgements provided a list of (some) reference books on fascism/radicalisation/etc Tesh used for research.
