Приятное

Не могу не поделиться, поскольку очень люблю Сагу о Форкосиганах, Л.М.Буджолд, получившую Хьюго-2017 в номинации Best Series.

Best Series
A multi-volume science fiction or fantasy story, unified by  elements such as plot, characters, setting, and presentation, appearing  in at least three (3) volumes consisting in total of at least 240,000  words by the close of the previous calendar year, at least one volume of  which was published in the previous calendar year. If any series and a  subset series thereof both receive sufficient nominations to appear on  the final ballot, only the version which received more nominations shall  appear.

Note that there is a pending amendment to the WSFS Constitution that,  if ratified by the 2017 WSFS Business Meeting, will add Best Series as a  new permanent category. The definition above is based on the wording of  the proposed new category.

1393 votes for 290 nominees.
Votes for finalists ranged from 129 to 325.

• The Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold (Baen)
• The Craft Sequence, by Max Gladstone (Tor Books)
• The Expanse, by James S.A. Corey (Orbit US / Orbit UK)
• The October Daye Books, by Seanan McGuire (DAW / Corsair)
• The Peter Grant / Rivers of London series, by Ben Aaronovitch (Gollancz / Del Rey / DAW / Subterranean)
• The Temeraire series, by Naomi Novik (Del Rey / Harper Voyager UK)

Хотя я по-прежнему считаю, что лучше бы последней книги не было, ну да ладно :)
