Yes, Ancillary Justice was very good.
Among Others by JoWalton was a genuinely good book. The Windup Girl was very good mainly because it was good sf very well written. The City & The City that share the price with The Windup Girl also had a very interesting sf idea and as usual with China Mieville it was very well written. Actually two brillliant books won that year when The Hunger Game was current. I remember having a hard time choosing between them since they were so good and much better than the other books on the short list.
