C'est la saison des prix qui débute !
Au passage, rendez-vous le mois prochain pour les nominations du prochain prix Elbakin.net, mais ce n'est pas le sujet ! Le vénérable magazine Locus vient de rendre son verdict et les vainqueurs seront annoncés dès le week-end du 24-26 juin.
Forcément, une fois encore, j'ai un regard tout particulier sur la sélection des romans fantasy et notamment un titre en particulier... Etonnante double nomination pour Joe Abercrombie en catégorie Young Adult avec deux tomes de la même trilogie.
