Congrats to all the winners! So that’s the Locus for all the Imperial Radchaai books then isn’t it?
Yay for the novel winners, bit of a boo on Slow Bullets, not my favourite, and yay on Old Venus, cracking set of stories in there.
Letters to Tiptree! So happy to see that up there.
Yay, glad to see Grace of Kings on the list, I had the impression others did not like it as much as I did.
Good list overall.
Congratulations to the winners!
Congratulations to the winners.
I’m wondering when they release the ranked longlist – in the next issue, perhaps?
I don’t think Locus publishes a ranked longlist for their awards. (Or at least, I’ve never seen one)

This is the 2015 version at sfadb.
I learnt something new today.

Very few winners attended this year, but the awards, as always, were fun.
John Cramer accepted for David Hartwell, probably the most moving speech of the afternoon.
