Nikad manje naslova sa Lokusovog Recommended spiska nisam pročitao

Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, Lois Mcmaster Bujold (Baen)
Caliban's War, James S. A. Corey (Orbit US; Orbit UK)
Rapture, Kameron Hurley (Night Shade)
Redshirts, John Scalzi (Tor; Gollancz)
Epic: Legends of Fantasy, John Joseph Adams, ed. (Tachyon Publications)

aaa, overio si Kameron Hurley. I, kako te se dojmila, kakvi su utisci?


Što se mene tiče, ove Lokusove preporuke me ostavljaju prilično hladnom. Šta ja znam, kao da sam očekivala više od tako silno zvučećih imena koja su tu preporuku sastavljala... Neki naslovi kao da na listu stižu po difoltu, a drugi kao da se pomalo misteriozno zaobilaze, pogotovo u debi kategoriji.   

Pročitala samo dva naslova sa spiska...  I, da, stvarno izgleda kao da su neki naslovi stigli po difoltu.
