All good choices, but I still give my top recommendation to Robert Charles Wilson’s Julian Comstock.
Yay for Bridesicle! Definitely the best of the short story submissions.
How did this match up with your votes?
I called Moon and Girl Genius right. I skipped some categories because I didn’t have time to read them all.
As much as I wanted Julian Comstock to win, I appreciate that Miéville is overdue, and I think I wrote somewhere that The Windup Girl was going to take it– even though I find the book uneven and somewhat overrated.
