Starter Villain
John Scalzi"The plot moves like a runaway train from one outrageous shock to another. The supporting characters are all quirky and believable. And the dialogue crackles and snaps, achieving laugh-out-loud effects more often than not." – Locus Magazine

Dr. Liz Bourke (🏳️🌈 all year)
Translation State
Ann Leckie"I don't want to spoil anything, so will simply say that the plot always goes where it should but not always where you'd expect. Along the way, Leckie asks big questions about trauma, power, and secrets. She answers them, too... I'll put my marker down now that this book will be on most of the award slates at the end of the year. It'll be well-earned.Translation State shows off Leckie's skills masterfully." – Locus Magazine

Samantha Shannon (Updates Only) & New York Times Books
The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi: A New Fantasy Series Set a Thousand Years Before the City of Brass
Shannon Chakraborty"The sense of place Chakraborty has conjured is one of the novel's signal achievements. Her research on the politics of the Indian Ocean in the 12th century is evident throughout, and there is plenty of adroit commentary on class conflict, piety, warfare and gender politics, particularly how these things are perpetuated through myth and storytelling. But there is also the fulfilled promise of a good time." – The New York Times
