RANKING HUGO SHORT LIST || August 2022 [CC]

A Desolation Called Peace is a wonderful sequel to an amazing like start of a series. I really enjoyed the story.

And for me, a master djinn is a good story. But I had a lot of issues with it. I thought this was poorly paced.

a light from uncommon stars is hands down the one that I think should win the Hugo Award.

It's engaging, I actually had a pretty fun time with it. That said, those are the only qualities for me in terms of like the other books on the list.

I just love the discussion of gender in this historical fantasy. I really love how that's done and how nuanced it is and how messy it is. I do have some slight issues with the number of similes.

I loved this book in every aspect. I think it's from a narrative perspective, a very page turner engaging story where you're at the edge of your seat wondering what is happening to Vern, how will they survive?

typically he writes novellas and I really like on the black gods drum.

I really love the echo wife by Sarah Gailey. I think if we have entertaining thriller ish sci fi on here like we do project Hail Mary the echo wife is I think more thematically rich...

I really liked the narrative framework. I think I haven't read a story like this a long time. And so I had a good time.

I liked it. But I didn't love it. It was like reading a Star Trek series.

I really liked this book. I liked it more than she became a sun and a Master of djinn and I felt like that's a similar type of fantasy.
