2015 Hugo nominees - misc reviewage
Jul. 30th, 2015 10:06 amI seem to have claimed back in March that I would comment on my Hugo ballot reading when I did it.
In fact I did very little Hugo ballot reading this year because of the Puppy situation, but here's what I've got:
Three-Body Problem, Cixin Liu: made myself read to 20% and gave up, not into it. A novel.
Graphic Stories not previously read:
Saga Vol 3: if you like Saga you'll probably keep liking it!
Rat Queens Vol 1: if you like dungeon-crawling ladies, these are some. (I liked this a lot, classic this-could-be-a-campaign adventuring party stuff but all the PCs happen to be women.)
Sex Criminals Vol 1: man, my jury is out until I see where it's going. Clever, but do they think they're writing a psychological thriller, or a romantic comedy?
