2 years agoI was going to say the same thing. I’ve always prided myself on being able to tell you the general direction anything was in, and could drive in a general direction (before Google Maps) and find my way. But I am complete crap at in-game directions even after really trying to get a feel for the surroundings.
I’m hoping for Isabel J Kim on the best new writer. I’ve enjoyed many of her stories in Clarkesworld.
Yes, definitely hoping for the Children of Time series to win. I’m finishing up the first and looking forward to the next two.
The only novel in the finalists that I’ve read is Scalzi’s. It’s a fun read, but yeah, it’s not fantastic science fiction.
