Greg L. Johnson of SFSite has posted his Best of 2007 list, a list of “the ten science fiction and fantasy books that I liked the most in 2007.” And wouldn’t you know it, Pyr takes the # 2 and # 1 spot.
Greg’s #2 choice for 2007 is Ian McDonald’s Brasyl,
of which he says, “With wit and stunning imagery, Ian McDonald takes us to a near-future, and a distant past, that is as strange as any alien world. …a story that masterfully blends history, character, Portuguese street slang and cosmological s
peculation, meeting both the requirements of hard SF and literary style along the way.”
And coming in at #1, Kay Kenyon’s Bright of the Sky,
which “lies somewhere between Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the Sun and Karl Schroeder’s Ventus, and was, for me, the one book of the year that, once I started reading, was impossible to put down.”
Congratulations to both Ian and Kay!
