Glad to see some love for Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (REVIEW) and Kowal’s Shades of Milk and Honey (REVIEW). Five of the six novels nominated are penned by women. Hobson’s The Native Star, which I’ve mostly ignored until now, has moved onto my radar. Most interesting to me is the novella section, which features Bacigalupi, Chiang and Swirsky, all three of whom greatly inspire my own short fiction.
