Locus Awards Finalists

The finalists for the Locus Awards have been announced. The awards are voted on by subscribers and readers of Locus, the SFF field's monthly news magazine. The award winners will be announced on June 25 as part of the virtual Locus Awards Weekend. 

These are the finalists for Science Fiction Novel.

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within, Becky Chambers (Hodder & Stoughton; Harper Voyager US)

Leviathan Falls, James S.A. Corey (Orbit US; Orbit UK)

The Echo Wife, Sarah Gailey (Tor; Hodder & Stoughton)

Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro (Knopf; Faber & Faber)

A Desolation Called Peace, Arkady Martine (Tor; Tor UK)

Noor, Nnedi Okorafor (DAW)

We Are Satellites, Sarah Pinsker (Berkley; Ad Astra)

You Sexy Thing, Cat Rambo (Tor)

Shards of Earth, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tor UK; Orbit US)

Hummingbird Salamander, Jeff VanderMeer (MCD; Fourth Estate)

I can't comment on the quality of the nominees as I haven't read any of them yet, but I am reading the last of the Expanse books next, probably followed by Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace.
