    Favorite author all time, Christopher Hopper, brings another epic sci-fi entry: Imperium Descent! Fantastic world building and characters that you feel deeply invested in. Plus he reads his own work!…maybe not RC Bray level, but pretty damn impressive, especially for an author reading his own work (rarely works but he pulls it off quite well).

    Another vote for Christopher Hopper’s IMPERIUM DECENT! Unique world building, fantastic characters, great storyline so far. Love the sketches of the main characters.

    Let’s go Tamsyn Muir!! It is about time your amazing writing in The Locked Tomb series gets recognition where recognition is due! All three are so different from each other, excellent and so highly original compared to most stuff out there that does win these awards! This series actually reminds me a ton of the six original Frank Herbert Dune novels….only a lot more humor and funnier! Can’t wait for the finale!

    If not Tamysn then has to be Sequoia Nagamtsu. Has to be one of those two. Hands down the two most original and best books of the year! HOW HIGH WE GO IN THE DARK is very dark in parts but one of the best books I’ve read not only this past year but in a very long time! Instant classic that deserves some ultimate recognition for the originality, timeliness and just great writing and storytelling! Can’t wait to read what he comes up with next! Nagamatsu is now on the very top of my list of authors who I anxiously await new material to read by them! He has a very bright literary future no matter what anyone says or thinks of HHWGITD!!
