My review: The Everlasting, by Alix E. Harrow
Another last-minute review of a book I read months ago. Another attempt to put my thoughts in order before voting. Every evidence of procrastination and incomplete work is another chance to grow? Anyway, I really enjoyed this book. It does fall heavily into the “war is war” category of books that give me some kind…

My review: Shroud, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I read this on ebook back in like May 2026 but never wrote a review and now I’m panicking and trying to organize my thoughts before voting in the 2026 Hugo Awards. This is a great sci-fi story with a classic feel. An alien planet so weird that it has to be explored. An alien…

My review: What Stalks the Deep, by T. Kingfisher
I read this (epub) on 14 May 2026. This novella is up for a 2026 Hugo Award. If you become a voting member, you can download the voters packet and read it yourself. I think this one takes my vote (sorry to Cinder House and Automatic Noodle, which also got this endorsement in their reviews). Honestly, I’ll…

My review: The River has Roots, by Amal El-Mohtar
I read this (epub) on 12 and 13 May 2026. This novella is up for a 2026 Hugo Award. If you become a voting member, you can download the voters packet and read it yourself. I don’t like fairy tales. Funny, that I just said that in another review. It’s still an imperfect and inexact statement. Much…

My review: The Summer War, by Naomi Novik
I read this (pdf) in two sittings on 12 May 2026. This novella is up for a 2026 Hugo Award. If you become a voting member, you can download the voters packet and read it yourself. I don’t like fairy tales. Okay, that’s a vast overstatement that relies on an overgeneralization. That’s not fair. I really like…

My review: Cinder House, by Freya Marske
I read this (epub) in two or three sittings on 12 May 2026. This novella is up for a 2026 Hugo Award. If you become a voting member, you can download the voters packet and read it yourself. Fairy tale retellings, especially the ones Disney has already done, are always a bit of a miss for me.…

My review of: Automatic Noodle, by Annalee Newitz
I read this (epub) in two sittings on 11 May 2026. This novella is up for a 2026 Hugo Award. If you become a voting member, you can download the voters packet and read it yourself. The truest sign of a book I love is my desire to share it with other people. Sometimes this can be…
