What an incredible list! I loved both Rakesfall and The West Passage, and am excited to open my copy of The City in Glass soon and pick up the others. What a rich selection.

Ahhh, with Rakesfall on the list this year (so many congrats, @vajra.me!), it's nice that Solaris Books has published nominees from the last three years (The Spear Cuts Through Water, The Saint of Bright Doors, The Siege of Burning Grass, and Rakesfall ❤️)

Congrats everyone! Such a spectacular list, including my favorites, @vajra.me's Rakesfall, and @yarntheory.bsky.social's North Continent Ribbon! I love that I always discover new books (to me) through this prize, and this year is no different. My summer reading list is set. 🙌

Took advantage of the train today to finish @vajra.me’s “The Saint of Bright Doors”. Totally unexpected, and remarkable on a number of levels. English writing coming out of #SriLanka continues to have a great run.

We need the Butlerian Jihad not because this has the potential to be real (it doesn’t), but because I want to stop hearing about it.

A proper adaption should be like 90% documentary of the various trippy ocean formations w/a dry voiceover explaining the technical jargon

Watching someone with a platform speak with such moral clarity on Palestinian children should not be so rare.

Unbound/Boundless owes me $15k+ on a book that in its first royalty reporting cycle had sold around 3k copies of its 5k copy print run of which I have not seen a single penny. They also haven’t even reimbursed me for postage costs I incurred mailing out the arcs in the US at their request

Lovely staff pick! “An archive, a collective memory, a narrative folded and refolded like origami … For fans of the tragic timelessness of This is How You Lose the Time War and the hallucinatory grandiosity of Everything Everywhere All at Once, this will be your new obsession.”
