Novel: I’m not surprised Leckie won (it’s shaping up to be the Year of Ancillary Justice) though I’m surprised that the (admittedly entertaining) Powell got picked over the superior Priest.
Short fiction: I still haven’t read Spin…
Artwork: I liked the Metropolis poster but this was a close second-favorite.
Non-fiction: Well, it was huge and lavish.
The Richard Wagner illustration is gorgeous!
Congratulations to all winners and nominees.
