Brian Nisbet<p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/HugoAward" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HugoAward</span></a> nominations close tomorrow and here I am, nominating <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Balatro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Balatro</span></a> (amongst others) for Best Game or Interactive Work. If you&#39;re telling me a game with cosmic graphics and talking cards that taunt you isn&#39;t SFF, then you need to open your mind! :)</p>
Htaggert<p>How long does it usually take you to finish a book?

Kevin Gamin<p><strong>Book Review – Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie</strong></p><p>My first book of 2025 is the second book I’ve read by author <a href="https://annleckie.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ann Leckie</a>. Both books, <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/ann-leckie/translation-state/9780316289719/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Translation State</a> and <a href="https://annleckie.com/novel/ancillary-justice/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ancillary Justice</a>, are set in the same world of the <a href="https://annleckie.com/series/imperial-radch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Imperial Radch series</a>, though the stories are not directly connected. Reading Translation State led me to Ancillary Justice, the first book of Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy, and I am eagerly looking forward to book two.</p><p>Ancillary Justice introduces us to Breq, a soldier, at least that’s how they present themselves. In reality, Breq is the last surviving ancillary of Justice of Toren, a destroyed warship of the Radch, and is on a mission of vengeance, one which will immensely change the empire, either in success or failure. </p><p>Characters like Breq, the last fragment of an artificial intelligence over 2000 years old now contained in a human body, and&nbsp; Seivarden, a former Lieutenant on the Justice of Toren a thousand years ago. Both are fish out of water, Breq as an AI trying to pass as human and Seivardan, a human a thousand years out of time who has lost everything. These two do need each other, though, of course, neither knows or believes it for some time, and their shared journey throughout the book, along with Breq’s back story, is compelling on its own. </p><p>Ancillary Justice has the distinct honor of earning&nbsp; the <a href="https://www.thehugoawards.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hugo Award</a>, <a href="https://nebulas.sfwa.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nebula Award</a>, and the <a href="https://www.clarkeaward.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Arthur C. Clarke </a>Award, the only book to do so. I can see why and I think you will, as well. I completed the <a href="https://www.adriantchaikovsky.com/children-of-time-series.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Children of Time series</a> by <a href="https://www.adriantchaikovsky.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adrian Tchaikovsky</a> and I look forward to reading the rest of this one. </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/2025-intentions/" target="_blank">#2025Intentions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/adrian-tchaikovsky/" target="_blank">#AdrianTchaikovsky</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/ancillary-justice/" target="_blank">#AncillaryJustice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/ann-leckie/" target="_blank">#AnnLeckie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/arthur-c-clarke-award/" target="_blank">#ArthurCClarkeAward</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/book-review/" target="_blank">#BookReview</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/children-of-time-series/" target="_blank">#ChildrenOfTimeSeries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/hugo-award/" target="_blank">#HugoAward</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/imperial-radch-series/" target="_blank">#ImperialRadchSeries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/nebula-award/" target="_blank">#NebulaAward</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/read-at-least-15-minutes-a-day/" target="_blank">#ReadAtLeast15MinutesADay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://medi-nerd.com/tag/translation-state/" target="_blank">#TranslationState</a></p>
Tero Ykspetäjä<p>A <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/HugoAward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HugoAward</span></a> question: The Forever War won the Hugo in 1976 even though it was published already in 74. Were the rules different back then, or was there some special circumstances that made it eligible?</p>
