Why read it?

1 author picked Some Desperate Glory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A wonderful cast of characters, an empathetic look at zealotry and extremism, a fresh and interesting take on what's become a common thematic pivot-point in speculative fiction, and a well-balanced storyline that made it hard to put down.
