I also quite liked the trilogy but do kinda think that Yoon Ha Lee got robbed back to back to back and should have won at least one of those three years.
Huh? People have won it _twice_ in a row, repeatedly, and the three times in a row thing nearly happened before (with Heinlein). Like, you could have a rule that the previous year's winner wasn't eligible I suppose, but I'm not sure I particularly see the point.
Judging by most of the comments over the submissions today, people are really not comfortable with someone pointing out how consistent with past behavior this is. We just happened to get proof leaked this time.

Ever since the same author won the award three years in a row the Hugo awards have been an utter joke.
I quite enjoyed the broken earth trilogy, and took no issue from each entry winning. Which book would you have preferred win from those years?

nothing against jemisin either, and I enjoyed the trilogy, but I was rooting heavily for "a closed and common orbit" in 2017.
They've been a joke for over a decade, at first it was just politics but the quality of writing is well below that of Hunger Games.
What novels would you suggest instead published in each of the last 10 years?

Hugo awards have been more about agendas than SciFi or Fantasy. This is just another variation.

They are as relevant as the Oscars. Nowadays if I see a book has won a Hugo or an Oscar, I am biased against it.
The slogan for this year, "Hugo's so cowardly" springs to mind
For what it’s worth, I quite enjoyed Parasite and Everything Everywhere All At Once, “despite” the fact that they won Oscars.
Yes, but they were outliers. And Hugo is much more political than the Oscars. Always was.
