“What’s this?”, you say? “Best series? What happened to best novel?”
Well. I was supposed to read Becky Chambers’ book, A Closed and Common Orbit next, but I just thought I’d have a teensy look at the first book in Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series, His Majesty’s Dragon, and the next thing I knew it was 2am and I was 200+ pages in and realising that I had to work in the morning.
(OK, I realised that well before this point, but I just didn’t care…)
So I wound up reading that first. A quick note on the Best Series for me, by the way. I’ve actually read everything in three of the series (serieses?) nominated this year, so I already know how they are ranked in relation to each other, and will write about them briefly here, but it’s hard to review an entire series, so I probably can’t do them justice.
