Beware Hugo and Nebula awards, they are awarded for writing and not for the story.

If I had started to read Cherryh with Cyteen I would not have continued since the book was very hard to read and I did not like the ending. I really like some of her other stuff like Downbellow Station, Merchanter's Luck and Rimrunner.
Hugo is decided by a popularity vote and often a book wins because of the story. For example the year that the Harry Potter book won. If the writing is bad enough in a book it will probably not win.
