2020 Aurora Award Finalists

The finalists for the 2020 Aurora Awards have been announced. The Aurora awards are the Canadian equivalent of the Hugo awards, voted on by Canadian SF&F fans, and will be announced by Calgary's  When Worlds Collide convention on August 15th. These are the awards for Best Novel. 
  • Haunting the Haunted, E.C. Bell (Tyche)
  • The Gossamer Mage, Julie E. Czerneda (DAW)
  • A Brightness Long Ago, Guy Gavriel Kay (Viking Canada)
  • The Quantum Garden, Derek Künsken (Solaris)
  • Jade War, Fonda Lee (Orbit)
  • Gods of Jade and Shadow, Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Rey)
Based on online buzz and the reviews I've seen, I expect Guy Kaye to win this one. I likely won't be voting on these as my connection with Canadian fandom is pretty tenuous these days.
