Prestigious science fiction and fantasy prizes also honour work by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and George RR Martin
Ann Leckie and Naomi Novik won the top two prizes at this weekend’s Locus awards, with George RR Martin, Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett also honoured at the Seattle ceremony.
Leckie took the Locus award for best science fiction novel for Ancillary Mercy, the conclusion of her story about Breq, a soldier who carries within her the intelligence systems of a now-destroyed starship. The trilogy’s first part, Ancillary Justice, won Leckie the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C Clarke awards, and was hailed for the distinctive voice in which it was told – Breq refers to all characters as “she”, regardless of their gender.
