Where it sits
- Universe: The Etched City
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: K.J. Bishop
Awards (verified)
- World Fantasy Award (Best Novel), 2004: nominated; A third-party aggregator, AwardShelf, incorrectly lists this as a WIN -- the official worldfantasy.org winners-and-nominees page for the 2004 convention confirms Tooth and Claw (Jo Walton) won Best Novel that year and The Etched City was one of 4 other nominees. Official source takes precedence over the conflicting aggregator, per this project's standing convention (the same one already applied when The Etched City was first scoped during earlier phases).
Notes
- A New Weird secondary-world novel following two former revolutionary soldiers-turned-fugitives who settle in a decaying desert city. Was a NOMINEE (not winner, despite a conflicting third-party 'AwardShelf' claim to the contrary) for the 2004 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel -- Jo Walton's Tooth and Claw won that year (also admitted in the same research pass), confirmed via worldfantasy.org's own official winners-and-nominees page for the 2004 convention.
