Best Novel 2021
Nov. 15th, 2021 11:43 pmI'm voting in the Hugos this year, for the first time. So I've been reading/watching/&c. a bunch of the finalists, and I think it might be fun to write up my thoughts on them.
First off, Best Novel. I'll go over my thoughts on them one by one, in the order they're listed on the ballot. Expect spoilers. Then I'll talk about how I plan to translate that into actual votes. I'll try not to complain too much about the voting system.
( Black Sun, by Rebecca Roanhorse )
( The City We Became, by N.K. Jemisin )
( Harrow the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir )
( Network Effect, by Martha Wells )
( Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke )
( The Relentless Moon, by Mary Robinette Kowal )
( My votes )
OK, that was way too long. I'll do much shorter writeups for the other categories, because otherwise I won't come close to getting through them.
