Best Novella: The River Has Roots By Amal El-Mohtar

I didn't enjoy the romance, How to Win the Time War but this was a
brilliant short fairy tale with riddles, the love between two sisters
living on the edge of human space next to "fairyland", the contest
between their greedy neighbour and an itinerant fairy.
I loved the poetic prose, the concept of fairy reality based on grammar
and the length was perfect with a brilliant ending. Four Stars.
