Best Novel:

The Stone Sky, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit US; Orbit UK)

As with the other books in the Broken Earth series, The Stone Sky is mostly set in a single supercontinent referred to as the Stillness by its inhabitants.[3]

The Stillness is constantly wracked by geological cataclysms, and every few hundred years, an event is severe enough to touch off a global volcanic winter, referred to as a Fifth Season. Some characters, referred to as orogenes, have the ability to manipulate geological energies on a large scale, as well as magic itself on a smaller scale. They are a persecuted and feared minority, though it is largely due to their efforts humanity has survived the Seasons at all.[3]

almost everything from one of two publishers.

has the sci-fi publishing industry collapsed, or have these awards just been rigged by Tor?

lol. N.K. Jemisin is literally the hysterical SJW who got vox day purged from the sci-fi writers' association a few years ago. as far as i understand it, her books are mostly political statements rather than actual science fiction narratives.
