Here's my rundown of finalists for best novel. Some of these
may sound familiar -- I'd already read a bunch of them before the
ballot was announced. (1/9)

My thoughts on the finalists for for 2023, in the Best Novella category: (1/n):

In by , Torquell is the wastrel son of a village mayor, but his occasional fistfights and mischief are tolerated because he's generally likable. This temper causes a disaster when Lord Peter, the ogre who owns the village, comes for a visit: Torquell gets his father in fatal trouble and has to flee,. Sounds like a fantasy story about revolution, right? The revolution part is correct -- the fantasy part is not. A previous book by Tchaikovsky, ELDER RACE, also bridged SF and fantasy in a similar way. It was a page-turner for me. simonandschuster.com/books/Ogr
