Along with the royalty, Glorious Day reads almost like fantasy but in space. It created an exquisite feel for the sci-fi story. The first thing I noticed as I read was the beautiful language. I only relaxed upon reaching the guaranteed HEA. Every professional conversation had taken twice as long as it should have.” This no doubt piqued my interest, and throughout the whole story, I was constantly wondering what would happen next. Glorious Day starts off with these sentences: “It had been difficult that morning to fit treason in around my duties as vice-captain of the castle complex’s security forces. Seemingly on different sides of the revolution, both characters find themselves needing more from each other than they thought they do. Though carefully shielded from everything going on, the Blind princess sees more than anyone suspects, and has plans of her own. She is also sure that the princess has many bedmates and does not miss her the slightest. When she gets reassigned as the princess’s bodyguard, the same job she had two years ago, she has no choice but to face her feelings for the crown princess. Vice-Captain Elsenna Hazen of the castle’s security force is helping to overthrow the current king of Iospary. I experienced a range of emotions such as concern, sadness, and joy throughout the read.
