Some Desperate Glory

I hadn't realized I had read this author before until I read the pages at the end of the book. She previously wrote Silver in the Wood and Drowned Country, award winning novellas I loved. Now she is nominated for several awards, including the 2024 Hugo for her first novel, and I loved it. It's a queer space opera with an unreliable, unlikable main character. It plays with parallel universes and trying to make the future turn out the way you want it to. At times it was a little tough to follow the universe jumping, but once I got used to it, it was breathtaking. The prose is as intense as the main character. Even though it took me a week to read this, I read the majority of it on just a few nights, going to bed early on the others to catch up from reading so late LOL.
