FOR THE LOVE OF QUADRICORNS EVERYWHERE, WHY IS THERE STILL NO FANTASY/SCI-FI CATEGORY FOR THE CHRISTY AWARDS!?!?!?!?!?!
WHY?
There are 3 different contemporary categories, (yes, 3, contemporary, contemporary series, and contemporary romance) and two historical categories, but all we have for the fantasy/sci-fi genre is the Visionary category. Not that there’s anything wrong with visionary, but it’s not really for fantasy or sci-fi. I don’t know why. I really don’t. Every year I’m disappointed. EVERY YEAR.
IT’S. TIME.
In happier news, Storm Siren by Mary Weber won in the Young Adult category.
“I raise my chin as the buyers stare. Yes. Look. You don’t want me. Because, eventually, accidentally, I will destroy you.”
In a world at war, a slave girl’s lethal curse could become one kingdom’s weapon of salvation. If the curse – and the girl – can be controlled.
As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth – meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
She’s a weather elemental! So Cool! I loved this book and it got some pretty good reviews from some big-name YA authors like Jay Asher (13 Reasons Why) and Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles). Book 2, Siren’s Fury, just came out last month.
