2016 Hugo Eligible Novels

tottman: Creative plot and world building. Solid and interesting characters. Definitely worthy of Hugo consideration

Awfki: I was really surprised he was able to wrap this up in a reasonable way. The book is typically Scalzi, fast paced, humorous (if you like snark and sarcasm) and generally a light read. My main complaint with this series is that the aliens don't feel at all alien. They speak with the same snark and sarcasm as the humans and that just feels off. It's still a fun read, just don't take it too seriously Also, I hesitate to call a popcorn read the "best" SF/F novel of the year. If a popcorn read is the best year had to offer it seems like it must have been a pretty off year.

tottman: Another great entry in the series. Well-written characters, thoughtful politics and plotting.
