Review: Exhalation – Stories

Ted Chiang is up for two Hugo awards this year, one novelette (“Omphalos”) and one novella (Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom). I was able to get ahold of the book they’re collected in, so I’m taking an easy week and just reading those two stories. Ha! Just kidding, it’s a short-story collection, of course

Review: Gideon the Ninth

Back in its day, at least, it would have been a monument to wealth and beauty. In the present it was a castle that had been killed. The Emperor of the First House (King of the Nine Renewals, the Necrolord Prime) has issued a summons to the other eight Houses. The heir to each House

2020 Hugo Awards – Two Novelettes and a Novella

Two of this year’s Hugo-nominated stories are only available via short-story collection (the same short story collection.

Review: A Memory Called Empire (Teixcalaan Book 1)

Empire was empire – the part that seduced and the part that clamped down, jaws like a vise, and shook a planet until its neck was broken and it died. Next up in the Hugo nominees is Arkady Martine’s novel of interplanetary intrigue, A Memory Called Empire. The book’s cover art of a lone figure
