I am reading the Hugo finalists for Best Novel. So far it's not going so great.
The Galaxy, and the Ground Within is a novel set on the barren planet of Gora, which has a small waypost for travellers to fuel up mid-journey. Owing to a Plot Event of the satellite fleet crashing into each other, a half dozen different aliens are stranded together on the planet for a few days. This is very much supposed to be a character-driven book, not a plot-driven one.
I didn't like it very much.
