What readers sayAbout Some Desperate Glory.
The main character's grief over her sister felt so real I couldn't stop thinking about it. Made me message my own sister after watching.
Didn't expect a sci-fi with this much emotional depth. The betrayals in the military structure hit hard and felt uncomfortably plausible.
Intense and ambitious, though the pacing stumbled mid-way. The ending still stuck with me for days afterward.
The weapon itself becomes a character. I finished watching and realized we need more war stories that question orders, not glorify them.
Raw and unflinching about what war does to young people. The moment she realizes she can't save everyone broke something in me.
