Eurovision in Space
So exactly what it says, the Eurovision in Space only the first time you enter you have to not place last so your species survives. It's a bit twisted and idea driven but very interesting.
It's not a bad read but I'm not sure it's a Hugo worthy read.
Part of the Hugo read. I now have read half of the nominees. Two require I read others first and are part of the series nominees and the other is The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal.
