These are the finalists for best novel:
- The Calculating Stars, Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor)
- The Poppy War, R.F. Kuang (Harper Voyager US; Harper Voyager UK)
- Blackfish City, Sam J. Miller (Ecco; Orbit UK)
- Spinning Silver, Naomi Novik (Del Rey; Macmillan)
- Witchmark, C.L. Polk (Tor.com Publishing)
- Trail of Lightning, Rebecca Roanhorse (Saga)
I would be quite happy to see The Calculating Stars win. It's the only one of the finalists that I've read and is definitely award calibre. I was disappointed to see that Ian McDonald's wonderful "Time Was" didn't make the ballot for best novella. However, I'm glad to see that several Canadian authors made the list. Thanks to Robert J. Sawyer for pointing out all of the Canadians:
- C.L. Polk of Calgary in best novel for Witchmark
- Kate Heartfield of Ottawa in best novella for "Alice Payne Arrives"
- Kelly Robson of Toronto in best novella for "Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach"
- Kate Heartfield in game writing for The Road to Canterbury
- And this year's already announced Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master, William Gibson
