Not necessarily a bad thing, but of the books on the list I've only heard of Yu, Gilman and Jemisin, which in fairness have all been received very-well. The rest weren't even blips on my radar, which is strange. Maybe they're all vastly superior to THE DERVISH HOUSE, THE QUANTUM THIEF, TERMINAL WORLD and THE SILENT LAND, but I very much doubt it.

Well of course she was! Your blasphemous insinuation that she could be otherwise offends me.
