The 2024 Nebula Awards for Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writing

"There is so much going on here, and yet it all fits together perfectly – book of the year material, no question, and one I’m already returning to." —Locus Magazine

"One of the most delightful aspects of Ann Leckie’s writing is the way that seemingly minor details in her fiction have extraordinary significance on much larger scales. In Leckie’s literary worldview, the smallest things often make the biggest difference." – Los Angeles Review of Books

"Defiantly ambitious... an action-packed thrill ride... Talabi's snarky narration keeps the tone light, while leaving room for a sweet love story." –The Washington Post

"The Terraformers, refreshingly, is the opposite of the dystopian... [the] mordant sense of humor steers the story clear of starry-eyed optimism, but it’s easy to imagine future generations studying this novel as a primer for how to embrace solutions to the challenges we all face." – Scientific American

"A deeply immersive throwback to a beloved (and for me, foundational) species of 1990s fantasy doorstop, is full of cataclysmic intrigues between mostly immortal families, complete with map and dramatis personae... Wells is working at the height of her powers here..." – The New York Times

"At once a boisterous martial-arts epic, an intricate heist story, and an all too timely tale of resistance against tyrannical institutions, The Water Outlaws is also unusually engrossing... In addition to being a Hugo Award winner, polymath Huang is a Hollywood stunt performer and armorer, able to write scenes of intricate combat with effortless clarity and breathless pacing. This novel reads like a movie in the best way." – Vulture
