Matthew's Journal

I've read all of these now, so need to rank them for voting purposes. Novels first:

1. Nettle & Bone, T. Kingfisher
   
2. The Spare Man, Mary Robinette Kowal
   
3. Nona the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir
   
4. Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree
   
5. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
   
6. The Kaiju Preservation Society, John Scalzi

I'm pretty clear about my first and last choices here, but the ordering of 2/3/4 was quite tricky.

Novellas:

1. A Mirror Mended, Alix E. Harrow
   
2. Ogres, Adrian Tchaikovsky
   
3. What Moves the Dead, T. Kingfisher
   
4. Even Though I Knew the End, C.L. Polk
   
5. Into the Riverlands, Nghi Vo
   
6. Where the Drowned Girls Go, Seanan McGuire

This was a very strong field, and I struggled to rank it.
