I also think the Saunders's books are among the best of the year; he
has his own style that needs some getting used to but that just goes
along with his unique world creation.

I'm currently re-reading again _Ninefox Gambit_ by Yoon Ha Lee which
is the best I've read in this year's crop - in many ways it reminds me
of the Saunders's books, not only in one obvious plot device, but in
terms of the energy and uniqueness of his world (though it's science
fiction as oppose to fantasy).
