2023 Hugo novellas
I skimmed enough of Where the Drowned Girls Go a couple of weeks ago to feel confirmed in my ongoing dislike of the series, so I suppose I can in fact rank novellas.
1 - Into the Riverlands, by Nghi Vo
2 - Even Though I Knew the End, by C.L. Polk
3 - What Moves the Dead, by T. Kingfisher
4 - A Mirror Mended, by Alix E. Harrow
5 - No Award??
6 - Ogres, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
7 - Where the Drowned Girls Go, by Seanan McGuire
I nominated the first three of these and would be happy to see any of them win. 1 vs 2 was very difficult for me here - I swapped them a couple of times and can't swear I won't do it again. They're both so good! Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Mirror Mended win either. I historically don't use a lot of No Award unless I'm actively pissed off about something but ugh, I really don't want either of those last two to win and it's very tempting to put in that official line of demarcation.
