But my favorite book this year was definitely The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, the first in the Lady Astronaut series. I even read the short story which was written first (but which comes last) which won the Hugo, and I hate short stories (the exception proves the rule!) I dove into the second book, The Fated Sky, right away and stayed up past 1:00 AM to finish it despite being pretty sick at the time.
And I am most elated to be able to provide an update which was not true at the time I wrote my original review: there will be more Lady Astronaut books! I did not just assume--I asked the editor. And at that time more were not planned. But they now are not only planned, they're contracted so are going to happen! Book 3 is coming in 2020 and book 4 in 2022. I am so excited!
