Voted for Emperor. I couldn't finish Ocean at the End of the Lane. Didn't read any of the others. Should I? I usually confine my fantasy reading to first-person novels.

Many thanks - very much appreciated!I've only read The Daylight War (& previous 2 books) which was very good & got my vote.
I feel dirty.I voted for EOT ....but I'm a massive Brett fan(as in I have a ward tattoo). I just really enjoyed Emperor. IMMENSELY. Good luck! Its more than deserved.
Thanks Glen, much appreciated - I'm sure I need your vote more than Peat but there would be no hard feelings whatsoever if you'd voted for The Daylight War (or any other book) :)
Ha ha. Yeah I read my comment again and it seemed a bit wierd in the beginning :-) The Broken Empire Trilogy inspired me massively. EOT all the way.
If EoT doesn't win, i'll raise a 9 nation army and march on Goodreads HQ!
Already gave EOT my vote, would have thought it would have been higher!!
I voted for Emperor of Thorns why is it not higher than that?
Those aren't the votes but the ratings on the book. The votes will be related in some way though.Emperor of Thorns has fewer ratings than 7 other fantasy books out this year, partly because it came out later than many, but mostly because Neil Gaiman and Robert Jordan are much much more popular than me (and the rest of them) :D
Voted.So maybe you should be asking all of us to rate/review your book?
I'm always asking people that :) Ratings, reviews, recommendations, telling a friend... all of them are the lifeblood of a book. Without that it will fade and die.
I really liked the first two books in the series (I even gave the first one away to my buddy for christmas '12 to buy the English version, the former one was German), but I haven't had time to read "Emperor of Thorns" yet.Therefore I voted for Scott Lynch's "Republic of Thieves", until now my favourite book this fall. Nevertheless good luck in this contest, the series would certainly deserve a good result.
[edit]
Oh, and love your infographics :D
The slightly disheartening statistic is that I have 864 friends on Goodreads and only 67 of them have voted on the Goodreads Choice Award:https://www.goodreads.com/choiceaward...
And not all of _them_ voted for Emperor of Thorns...
Is it helpful or am I being annoying by pointing out that 7% is actually an awesome response rate to your request to vote? It's actually probably an amazing response rate given that many of that 864 are probably people like me a la - those who aren't big on Goodreads. Plus popularity contests such as these are always going to favor the establishment. Gaiman (who I also adore) is almost unbeatable. Not because it's necessarily the best book on the list, but he's the most established author.
Don't worry. When your books get picked up by HBO (please let this happen because it would be just sooooo awesome) and you are a household name like RR Martin, you too will be crushing the popularity contests!
I had to um and ah. LOVED Gaiman's novel but reckon you deserved my vote more.
Very many thanks for all the votes - much appreciated.It's now round 2 and you can vote again. The list has 5 more nominees (written in) and this vote decides which 10 make it to the finals in a few days.
Voted again in the finals - fingers crossed for EOT, but the competition's heavy this year.
Yup - it would be a MAJOR success to get into the top 5.Many thanks for the votes.
Voted in the finals. I hope this book will win :)
Thanks! With about 1 million books published in English each year just being top 10 in one of 20 categories feels like a win :)
