Haven't read any of these.  YA publishers tend to supply only excerpts
for the Lodestar voter's packet so I tend to make that an even lower
priority than the adult categories.  (It seems that authors and
publishers with experience in the adult categories are more likely to
supply complete works, whereas those that specialize in YA tend to
provide only excerpts and/or "e-galleys".  The Kritzer was complete in
both EPUB and PDF formats, but the Blackgoose was just an excerpt.)

I tracked down the Blackgoose on my own dime and enjoyed it.
