Once again only 50% overlap with the Hugo shortlist. I have tried to
start the Wells a couple of times (I own it it hardcover) but haven't
succeeded yet.

I bounced off the Kritzer, one of only two stories overlapping with
the Hugos (the Jones was the other one).

Haven't read any of these. YA publishers tend to supply only excerpts
for the Lodestar voter's packet so I tend to make that an even lower
priority than the adult categories. (It seems that authors and
publishers with experience in the adult categories are more likely to
supply complete works, whereas those that specialize in YA tend to
provide only excerpts and/or "e-galleys". The Kritzer was complete in
both EPUB and PDF formats, but the Blackgoose was just an excerpt.)

Translation State by Ann Leckie

Excellent story, and really expanded the background of the Presger
Translators. Also made me think that some of the behavior of Translator
Zeiat in Ancillary Mercy was a put-on.

The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older

I enjoy these, although I'll say the mystery in this one was a bit . .
. slight. There's another one due out this summer, The Potency of
Ungovernable Impulses.

I tracked down the Blackgoose on my own dime and enjoyed it.
