THE WEIGHT OF THE SUNRISE

find it here

 

http://www.asimovs.com/2013_02/exc_story2.shtml

 

There are two more Nebula-nominated novellas. One I can't access, and one I dislike a lot. The Weight of the Sunrise is an alternate history of an Inca Empire that didn't fall, meeting an America that's British. I found it clunky, awkward, and unpleasant.

 

It lacked every gracenote writing can offer, and troweled on the info without any noticeable attempts to disguise the dump.

Nebula-Nominated Novella SIX-GUN SNOW WHITE
Six-Gun Snow White - Catherynne M. Valente

New Review! Catherynne M. Valente retells Snow White in her usual gloriously poetic language. Is it any wonder this wins an almost-perfect score from me.

Go take a gander at the why.

Reviewing another Nebula-nominated novella

Today's review of a Nebula-nominated novella is Lawrence M. Schoen's gap-filling Trial of the Century, which is at my blog.

More Nebula-Nominated Novella fun
Burning Girls - Veronica Schanoes

My Nebula Novella Nominees reading continues. Burning Girls by Veronica Schanoes was a 4.8-star experience for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

There is some wonderful writing going on in the SF/F genre these days, and I couldn't be more excited by discovering some high-quality new-to-me storytellers.

 

Starting with this publication, permaybehaps she will be the author of a whole collection. Until now, she's been in anthologies like Queen Victoria's Book of Spells and the 2008 edition of the year's best fantasy and horror.

Wakulla Springs: A Tor.Com Original - 'Andy Duncan', 'Ellen Klages'

I read Nebula-nominated novella WAKULLA SPRINGS and gave the Tor.com original a good going-over.  

 

Lots to think about, said in lush prose, and plotted beautifully. Since I'm not counting it towards my goals, it lives on my blog.
