There are five shortlisted novels, which were 8th, 13th, 16th, 17th and 32nd on my previous ranking.

| Tade Thompson – Rosewater | 20,063 | 3.86 | 192 | 3.79 |
| Yoon Ha Lee – Revenant Gun | 7,147 | 4.21 | 146 | 4.06 |

| Dave Hutchinson – Europe at Dawn | 359 | 4.14 | 37 | 4.4 |
It's striking that although Rosewater has the most owners on both systems, it's also relatively low-ranked, last on GR and second last on LT. Meanwhile Europe At Dawn and Revenant Gun take first and second place in both systems.
Well, we'll see.
