I’m kind of surprised by this. I liked “The Goblin Emperor” was a much better, but these two are the only nominees I’ve read. I really liked the Lovecraftian horror and the backstory of the main character, but thought the prose felt forced. It was not an easy read.
Annihilation was my pick to win! The imagery and the mood were very strong in this book. It is not a book to read alone on a dark and stormy night.
I have read all the nominees, and I would put them in this order – Annihilation, Ancillary Sword, The Three Body Problem, Trial by Fire, Coming Home, The Goblin Emperor. (I seem to one of very few who didn’t like The Goblin Emperor.)
This year’s nominee list was a good one, as was last year’s. I think my faith in Nebulas is slowly being restored.
