This website is terrible. It's the site for this year's convention; the official website for the World Fantasy Convention overall (http://www.worldfantasy.org) also has not posted the finalists.

Susanna Clarke again. Never read anything by her, but she's won a lot of awards. Piranesi sounds interesting enough. Of course, I could say exactly the same about Jemisin and Robinson.

It's a hell of a thing to write Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, almost disappear for over a decade (apparently in part due to ill health), then storm right back onto the awards lists with her second novel.

Eh, I was pretty disappointed by Jonathan Strange...so much potential unrealised.

2021 Dragon Award Finalists

(I noticed that Cyberpunk 2077 got a nomination for best video game and I can no longer take these awards seriously at all. Ready Player Two already wasn't helping their case.)
