4.5

There was no way I could resist reading this story. The main characters are both sapphic; one of them is blind; there are several nonbinary side characters; a major part of the plot is about overthrowing a corrupt monarchy. Who doesn't love queer sci-fi about changing the world for the better?

Despite being only about 90 pages long, there is great worldbuilding, character development, and plot progression in Glorious Day. It felt well-structured and paced; I often worry that relationships will feel rushed or forced in short stories, but this didn't feel that way at all.

I'll definintely be reading more of this author's work!
