Congratulations to all nominees!
I’m pretty happy to see that “All Systems Red” by Martha Wells won in the Novella Category. I thought it was a great read, with a very unique protagonist and setting. The story seemed very suited to the novella length, just as long as it needed to be with no extra padding.
Hi Prairie Dog. Yes, I thought “All Systems Red” was good too – it was one of my favourite reads of last year.
