N.K. Jemisin won three years in a row, which is far worse. (Three Body Problem was actually okay, though it seemed to me that books 2 & 3 were far better than the first.)
At this point, I'd say just about anything is legitimately good enough to win a Hugo.
- int_19h 3y agoJemisin gets a lot of flak for her politics and the way she weaves it into narratives, but as far as quality of writing itself goes, I'd say she's vastly better. Characters behave like, well, people, not like cardboard cutouts that are there to say the line that author needs to be said.
- watwut 3y agoBroken Earth is absolutely awesome. I don't like everything Jemisin wrote, but her hugo win was 100% deserved.
- baq 3y agoIt was ok, but not earth shattering.
