Not sure why ‘How High We Go In The Dark’ hasn’t been nominated for a Hugo. Been raving about it since it was released and it’s the best Sci-Fi I’ve read in the last 10 years. The theme park and pig chapters would stand alone as award-winning short stories.

The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie
Abercrombie's just completely mastered his craft, his stuff is so well written. Another great entry into his First Law world.
