I think this book is a fascinating study on the progression of extremism and the corruptibility of people with power. This was a really interesting story with an incredible amount of character development. Increasingly extremist, is Misery’s war truly righteous or have they become the villain? Misery’s abilities find themself immersed in an ideological war. However, when the voice starts giving more and more specific suggestions, Misery begins to listen and is catapulted from marauder to messiah. In fact Misery has already begun hearing voices. Misery has the power to manipulate certain types of stones, but is all too aware that this means they will likely die of voidmadness like their mother did. “The Genesis of Misery” by Neon Yang is a science fiction novel about Misery, a petty criminal from a backwater planet, who has found themselves in hot water again. Behind them is a large pearlescent creature with four arms and a humanoid head, and an eclipsing planet. The eBook cover is of a person in a green unitard and jacket with bobbed orange hair floating or falling through space. Image is of “The Genesis of Misery” by Neon Yang. I received a copy of this book courtesy of the publisher. Epic science fiction novel about faith, war and moral righteousness
