Tor.com Reviewers' Choice: The Best Books of 2020—So Far

"We're halfway through the year, and we have a lot of favorite new reads already. Our reviewers each picked their top contenders for the best books of the year (so far)—and they almost all chose different titles! This year's highlights run the gamut from timely, techy science fiction and genre-bending epic fantasy, to heart-racing neo-gothic horror and powerful anthologies. We've got dragons, we've got empresses, we've got revolutionaries and superheros and wormholes in retail stores!"
