I couldn't find another thread about last night's Hugos, Campbell, and Alfies yet - please merge if I post simultaneously with someone else. There are some really deserving winners here, in my opinion - I was particularly glad that NK Jemisin's
The Fifth Season won, as I found it absolutely fantastic. I'm reading sequel
The Obelisk Gate right now. Okorafor's
Binti was great too.
My pick of the Alfies is
Letters to Tiptree - terrific book.
And the winners are:
