2013 MORNINGSTAR AWARD FOR BEST FANTASY DEBUT
John Gwynne for Malice (Pan MacMillan)
2013 LEGEND AWARD FOR BEST FANTASY NOVEL
Brent Weeks for The Blinding Knife (Orbit)
Congrats to all the winners! Brent Weeks, The Blinding Knife was indeed very (and most importantly very popular in the genre), Graffet and Senior covers will always be hard to beat (it's their second win, the won in 2010 for Best Served Cold) and I haven't read Malice by John Gwynne, but I'll look into it.
What do you think? Did you vote this year?
