Congratulations to the winners!
Is this the only major award Ancillary Justice didn’t win? Although a significant “best newcomer” award is not chopped liver.
I see several titles on my TBR list that need to move higher.
Not sure that Ancillary Justice would be eligible for a “Best Fantasy Novel” award–it wasn’t on the short list, that I can see, and it’s more SF than fantasy, to the extent those distinctions mean anything.
Ancillary Justice won the Newcomer award, but yeah, was not eligible for the fantasy award…
