The finalists for the 2023 Hugo Awards have been announced by the Chengdu Worldcon, the 81st World Science Fiction Convention, which will be held in Chengdu, China later this year. The awards are nominated and voted on by attending and supporting members of the convention.
These are the finalists for Best Novel:
Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree (Cryptid; Tor)Nettle & Bone, T. Kingfisher (Tor; Titan UK)The Spare Man, Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor)The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Rey; Jo Fletcher)Nona the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir (Tordotcom)The Kaiju Preservation Society, John Scalzi (Tor; Tor UK)
Out of the six finalists, I've read only The Kaiju Preservation Society. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't consider it Hugo material. A couple of books I expected to be on the list (
The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler and
Babel by R. F. Kuang) didn't make it, but that's not unusual.
