Greg L. Johnson of SFSite has posted his best of 2007 — his top ten books of the year, and Bright of the Sky came in #1! He says the book “lies somewhere between Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the Sun and Karl Schroeder’s Ventus, and was, for me, the one book of the year that, once I started reading, was impossible to put down.”
Others were: #2, Brasyl (Ian Mc Donald), #3, In War Times (Kathleen Ann Goonan), #4 Sixty Days and Counting (Kim Stanley Robinson) and #5 Territory (Emma Bull).
