Let’s start with a book that scooped two awards this year, winning both the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Ignyte Award for Outstanding Novel: The Saint of Bright Doors, by Vajra Chandrasekera. Yes! And it was also nominated for the Nebula. I think it’s a fantastic debut; I can’t wait to see more from Chandrasekera. We follow Fetter, the child of a god with an unwanted destiny.

EinsEsther konnte nicht fassen, wie blau der sonnenhelle Himmel war. Es war ein vielschichtiges Blau, beinahe weiß am verschneiten Horizont, doch je weiter sie den Blick hob, desto dunkler wurde es: vom blassen Hellblau eines Rotkehlcheneis über Coelinblau bis hin zu einem ruhigen, leuchtenden Azur.

Abe Kalotay died in his front yard in late February, beneath a sky so pale it seemed infected. There was a wintery wet snowbite to the still air and the sprawled- open pages of the book at his side had grown slightly damp by the time his daughter Joanna came home and found his body lying in the grass by their long dirt driveway. Abe was on his back, eyes half- opened to that gray sky, mouth slack and his tongue drying blue, one of his hands with its quick- bitten nails draped across his stomach.
