2017 NEBULA AWARDS: Nominations Announced

The Nebula awards are one of the most prestigious awards in the genre of speculative fiction. The winners are voted on by members of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), who are generally people who have published works of science fiction.

Last year's winner for Best Novel was Naomi Novik's Uprooted which was also nominated for the Hugo award, an award which is voted on by people who register for the World Science Fiction convention (WorldCon).

This year's nominees for best novel are:

Novel

• All the Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders (Tor; Titan)

• Borderline, Mishell Baker (Saga)

• The Obelisk Gate, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit US; Orbit UK)

• Ninefox Gambit, Yoon Ha Lee (Solaris US; Solaris UK)

• Everfair, Nisi Shawl (Tor)

Unfortunately I have only read one of these books N.K. Jemisin's The Obelisk Gate (which I quite enjoyed) and is the sequel to her Hugo award-winning The Fifth Season (which I liked even more).
