The voting window for this year’s Dragon Awards will close on 20th July. As the world’s largest and most accessible SFF award, the Dragon Awards is open to all and reflects the year’s greatest works of SFF. Here are my recommendations for this year’s awards, based both on my personal experience and recommendations from others.<\/p>\n

Best Science Fiction Novel<\/h1>\n

Superluminary: The Lords of Creation
\nJohn C. Wright<\/p>\n

Best Fantasy Novel<\/h1>\n

War Demons
\nRussell Newquist<\/p>\n

Best Young Adult\/Middle Grade Novel<\/h1>\n

The Awful Truth About Forgetting
\nL. Jagi Lamplighter<\/p>\n

Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel<\/h1>\n

Galaxy’s Edge: Legionnaire
\nJason Anspach and Nick Cole<\/p>\n

Best Alternate History Novel<\/h1>\n

Hammer of the Witches
\nKai Wai Cheah<\/p>\n

Best Horror Novel<\/h1>\n

Good to the Last Drop
\nDeclan Finn<\/p>\n

Best Comic Book<\/h1>\n

My Hero Academia Vol. 13 (English translation)
\nK\u014dhei Horikoshi<\/p>\n

While there are other categories, I don’t watch TV, I haven’t seen a SFF movie or graphic novel worth awarding, and I barely have time for video games these days. I won’t recommend works in fields I have no insight into; feel free to look at recommendations from\u00a0Vox Day<\/a>,\u00a0Declan Finn<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Happy Frogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no registration fee and no memberships are needed, but only\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0nomination per category is allowed. You can send in your nominations\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To my fans, thanks for participating! And to my fellow creators, good luck, and may the best work win!<\/p>\n

HAMMER OF THE WITCHES blends combat, drama, espionage and conspiracy in a continent-spanning adventure. With an unbroken record of 21 5-star reviews, it is the best book I’ve written yet, and I’m proud to advance it as a Dragon Award nominee in the category of Best Alternate History novel. You can find it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
