I just imagined Brandon Sanderson and Joe abercrombie in Daniel’s dual interview 😳

Greene is now just flexing his ability to get interviews with amazing authors xD

I could listen to Evan Winter all day everyday!!!

Nicholas Eames is so charming. He seems like the guy who would be fun to hang around with and would always have something funny to say. He also kept the conversation going and avoided awkward silences

"I thinnk I've just talked about trying it but never actually tried it" So relatable.

Wow, you're actually able to band these two together into a single interview. Amazing.

I've just started Kings of the Wyld and Rage of Dragons is the next book I plan to read so yeah, this is pretty awesome.

I lowkey feel jealous of Daniel that he gets to meet and chat with all these authors

The Fires of Vengeance sounds badass

Evan mentioned that fantasy is in an incredible place right now... personally, before this channel, I had zero idea who Evan, Nicholas, Fonda Lee, Scott Lynch, Rebecca Kuang (and countless others) was/were. This channel introduced me to those great names. So fantasy being in a great place right now would always have your imprint on it. I personally buy books based on this channels recommendations.

Discovered Evan Winter on Thursday. Bought Rage of Dragons on Friday. Started reading on Saturday. Devoured 100 pages. Bought Kings of the Wyld end of April. Finished Start of May. Started my own band. Discovered Daniel Greene in 2018. Am still here 2020. Enough said.

19:25 the influence of LOTR is so extensive in multimedia, I don't think people have to necessarily read the books to still be influenced by their ideas anymore. - just a random thought for a conversation, maybe I'm wrong??

Hearing Eames describe his characters is pure awesome

I've loved Eames' books, but haven't heard of anything from Winter. I'll check him out!

this guy just does whatever tf he wants now. want 2 of his current favorite authors? SCREW IT LET'S BRING 'EM BOTH IN. interviewed each already?! WHO CARES LET'S DO IT ANYWAY!

This was so interesting to watch since I JUST completed rage of dragons last week and I started King’s of the Wyld literally last night lol God I love Orbit books does anyone else think they just always have the best fantasy? Orbit is probably my top tier publisher I will probably read anything they put out, and rage of dragons was the most fast paced yet simultaneously all consuming story I’ve ever read and I loved it. I’ve also been anticipating kings of the Wyld for so long that I’m also scared to read it because I think it’s going to just smash all other books out of the water for me and idk how to come back from that lol

Kings of the Wyld really took off for me when Lastleaf was introduced. I love an intimidating villain stepping onto the scene. It also helps when they add layers to the world's mythology

3 knowledgeable guys talking fantasy. thoroughly enjoyed this interview. evan seems very introspective and nicholas is hilarious lol

This is such a good interview. If I didn't know these people I'd think they were all great friends

I had no idea Eames' was Canadian until he said "Bristol board" and then immediately after said "oh but maybe it has different names" 😂

Wow, great crossover!

Top tier interview. U seem to really vibe with these guys.

Super interested in Rage of Dragons after this interview! Winter really conveyed his passion in an infectious way, and I like his thoughts on and approach to the craft, too.

A lot of nice references to Joe Abercrombie and his First Law series. He's truly an inspiring writer.

Two authors that have such different vibes, but the interview is so seamless and fun. Daniel, you’re that dude.

Both authors books are on my TBR shelf, can’t wait to read them. Is it just me or is Evan Winter a really handsome dude?

I just finished Rage of Dragons last week. I really enjoyed it! I've recommended it multiple times now and I don't usually go out of my way to recommend books to people....

That was great. You did an excellent job as an interviewer, Daniel, it was brilliant.

It is funny that when Nicholas was talking about authors being afraid to use humor, I was thinking about the fact that I am currently rereading Dragonlance (which occasionally drops in pure silliness in the middle of a very serious story). Then, next thing I know the whole discussion turns to Dragonlance. And Daniel, you should read Dragonlance.

This format worked very well, sometimes its a bit awkward with the one on one video chats, but this flowed well. great job daniel

This was amazing Daniel! Great work putting this together!

Awesome. Good work getting both of these guys on.

This was awesome, very interesting format and fun to see talented authors vibing off of each other and comparing and contrasting their processes, their opinions...Great stuff.

As always, an amazing interview 😍 both their books are on my tbr and I can't wait to read them

Great duel interview, Daniel. Looking forward to the next one.

This was absolutely fantastic! Bravo Daniel!

Really the light we needed in out lives. Would love to see more double interviews, I'm really enjoying the discussions especially with these two very contrasting tones and processes. Oh and Freecloud is pop? Well if you've read it, you understand the irony.

Thanks Daniel ... I always enjoy your interviews. You do it well ♥️

Very interesting conversation! Love hearing from such different perspectives!

Wow... My favourite interview of all time?? Such comfortable conversations between the 3 of you. Good job Daniel!!

I love your interviews so much! I haven’t read from either of these authors yet (they’re on my TBR) but I’ll watch you talk to anyone for 45 minutes😂

Another great author interview. Always so much fun to listen to. Keep up the good work!

Love, love, love this interview! I especially loved the answer to the question about the senses, because I find it's a delicate balance between giving too much and not enough. I like to be able to use my imagination to some degree, but I need enough to work with. Also glad they liked my question regarding editors and I respect you asking a question you said you were hesitant about. Haha 😉

Really excited to sit down and watch this! I picked up Rage of Dragons last year on your recommendation and it was my favorite book of the year! Excited for the second book!

The groups interview I didn’t know I needed until I watched it. I really truly enjoy getting to know these authors. I enjoy how you interview Daniel, you really let people talk.

Hells yes! Was really looking forward to this upload :) I wish Pat Rothfuss would continue his Story Board Podcast at some point (I think he made 8 episodes around 2012 in cooperation with Geek & Sundry), was so awesome to listen to all the writers talk about their perspectives, techniques, and ideas.

This is amazing omg your channel is giving such amazing content!!!!!

Great authors, great discussion. Well done Daniel for being able to engage with these authors. It really is interesting to hear their thoughts process and fandom of fantasy and sci-fi

This is great Daniel. Thanks for getting these guys on your channel. You always take your time to make them both get comfortable with talking about their work and never force your voice and opinions. You offer your thoughts to get these authors really discussing their own. Bravo! I know you're taking a break from reading comments haha but you offer great entertainment and knowledge.

Fantastic interview!

I just finished Rage of Dragons thanks to Daniel and oooooh my was it so freaking good

Nicholas, huge fan of the band series! Evan, haven't read Rage of Dragons but I hear nothing but great things and I will read it eventually.

Is it Christmas? These two guys have been added to my favorite writers list.

It’s really something that I’m not even surprised anymore when Goblin man gets some all star authors in for an interview, I truly love to see this channel grow SO much & I absolutely love the direction it’s heading.

really excited for fires of vengeance release!

Yooo!! Never thought I would see this crossover!!

Bought both their series, and can't wait to read them!

Two fun loving Canucks. Great interview.

Great interview, guys! I could listen to you two talk for hours. Although, I admit my favourite part was hearing Nick give STORMBLOOD a shout-out. That was amazing and very, very unexpected. And at the risk of invoking the Bloody Rose's wrath, it's narrated by the fantastic Colin Mace (who does all of Peter V. Brett's audiobooks), not Steven Pacey.

Much super 💓💓💓 to all 3! Also, I’m on the first few chapters of Wyld and can’t stop laughing out loud.

Great format!

Alright, alright when this popped into my feed I freaked out... only a lot! Two of my favorite books I read this year were Kings and Rage, what a hell of a pair

Wow!! Ur popular!! 😊😊😊😊 wish u lot of happiness!!

Great video... Will there be a Mark Lawrence interview one day? Would love to hear how he got inside the head of Jorg Angrath.

Two of my absolutely favorite authors ever! That's insane!

I get it; I am going to go bald because that will surely make me a successful author.

Just bravo my friend. Bravo.

Finished "Bloody Rose" a week ago, and I was very impressed. I really liked where it went, thematically, and I would even call it the "Empire Strikes Back" book in the trilogy. "KotW" is fun, thrilling, but "BR" is more. I felt there were more stakes in that book. And on another note, those two books brought back the pure joy of reading, to the point that I actually stopped reading for a day when I started the final 80 pages of "BR", simply because I didn't want it to end. I fear that I'm getting slightly obsessed about Eames' work. :D

I'm motivated thnx guys :}

Winter and Eames is a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre

Well, there’s two more authors to add to my tbr. Both seem like great guys and I’ve heard so many good things about Rage and Kings.

I would LOVE a Kings and Rage crossover! Call it Kings Of Rage, or Rage Of The Wyld. Just a short story for shits and giggles.

I agree Tolkien is stoic, but at the same time he is incredibly funny. A lot of British humor in the Lord of the rings, especially with the hobbits.

Finished Rage of Dragons about 3 hours ago. Burned through it in 6 days! Loved the book. Hearing he was really into R.A. Salvatore makes sense for some of the fight scenes. Can't recommend the book enough.

Daniel smiling all through 😀😀😎

So many instant likes as soon as this drops lol Fan base is strong

Imagine being a big book fan and reading all the good stuff and then if you have questions you just go and ask the author :D Doing good daniel :D

Dragon lance was my first too, Daniel you should review it! You would love Lord Suit!

I just bought KotW and RoD. Can't wait to read them!

Evan and Nicholas!!! 🤩🤯

These two are amazing

Need to table this interview until after I've read Kings of the Wyld to have context. Loving your videos interviewing authors. I'd love to see an interview with Martha Wells and Ann Leckie. Their Murderbot and Imperial Radch series have been favorites of the last few years. I think they would have a lot to talk about relating to gender representation in sci fi.

The castle and mote that you are showing at 2:07 in fact has giant carp in the mote. It is called Bodium, is in East Sussex, and is quite possibly is the most castle like castle that ever castled

Okay, so humor theory is really really cool. One of the big things about humor is that its largely based on perception and making connections between things, and how we interpret disparities of condition and power, incongruities, or just how they make us emotionally rev ourselves up in response to them. One of the things that makes humor in fantasy hard is that humor often thrives on people having things to make comparisons too, and when you are creating a new setting, it can be hard to make those comparisons because you have you work a little bit harder. More modern stories have a bit more of a foot in the relatable experiences of the reader, so its much easier to have it in there. Not that fantasy can't have it, but it can mean that you have to play more with what you are setting up. There are also certain philosophies that I think fantasy struggles with for humor, like how so much of fantasy is world building and establishing the rules of the setting, but humor really likes to set up rules so it can break them, and that can be confusing for fantasy. Humor is a really great tool, and I wish fantasy writers included more because a lot of the tools used for humor are the same tools used for drama. Irony is a great example, relief theory has a lot of similarities with tension dynamics used in thrillers and horror as well as fight scenes, and superiority theory can make protagonists seem humble and make you cheer when villains are torn down.

Reading kings of wyld and Rage of dragons now.

I'm getting excited when Daniel Greene interviews Orbit Authors.

So cool! I’m halfway through Wyld now and have Rage in the 2021 TBR. What are the odds of getting an uncut version?

The authors of my favorite and least favorite reads of the year, this should be interesting... Always enjoy your interviews, though. Congrats on getting all these guests!

Holy moly too much awesome in one video

Canada represent

Yessss!!!!🥳🥳🥳

29:18 I immediately start googling how they translated KotW in Russian and it’s true, it is kinda the translation they used. Although if I took the Russian title as is and translated it into English, I would go with Kings of the Dread or Kings of the Eery. Have not read the book, so I have no idea how either option fits the story. This title would be impossible to translate into Russian literary, so some artistic license would be required anyway.

Steven Pacey is an audiobook treasure!

This is just FFCUKING amazing!

I would like to see you interview Steven Erikson

Lol, could you guys imagine? "Which way is it, Gandalf?" "How the fuck would I know???" Bwahahaha!! XD If LotR had that type of humor in it, Fantasy would be a VERY different genre, but probably even more enjoyable. X,D Edit: Nicholas is such a humble dude, with that "which characters would win in a fight." Evan didn't say anything because that IS a hard question to answer without seeming like prideful - even for the sake of jokingly arguments sake. But Eames gracefully gave the argumentment over to Winter while also finding an even group. "Your character would kill the rest of my old farts, except for the 1 dude that is still in his prime." And Evans rolled with it to keep the conversation going. Because honestly? I think Saga would win. Mostly because of Ganeleon, but here's how i would picture it: Gabriel would rush Tau, Tau's blades would be sheared off, but that would make Tau weary of the OBVIOUSLY magical weapon, so he'd dance around Gab until he'd tire and then finish him off, then would go STRAIGHT for Moog, because you always take out the wild card before it has a chance to really fuck you up, aaand Moog was probably distracting Tau's team enough for Saga to pick them off one by one. And poor Moog, even with all his ridiculous tricks, wouldn't stand a chance against Tau's fury. All the while Clay would have been shouldering attacks from the rest of Tau's team, and Gan and Matt would have finished them off with the help of Moog's antics, and then Ganeleon would be having a time with that big behemoth of a guy (who's name iiii can't remember), before he'd ultimately would finish him off using some sort of dirty trick. Saga isn't about honor in combat. Which, once both sides saw what happened to their allies, would go into rages. Mattrick would rush Tau, being the other duel weilder of the group, and i can see him keeping up with Tau swing for swing, and not letting the kid have an inch, even getting a few good swipes on him. But Matt is old, and fat. He'd tire fast from that pace. Tau would probably give him a mortal wound, or outright behead him. But, between Clay and Gan? I can't see Tau coming out on top, regardless of his rage mode. Clay's sheild is (almost) impenetrable, he's most likely as big as the biggest dude in Tau's band, and Ganeleon is just as much of a monster in combat as Tau. But that's just me. :>

Raistlins dark humor is amazing btw, like "FU, but it worked, right"

I loved Rage of Dragons!

Nicholas Eames has had the exact same fantasy trajectory as I did xD then again, we're about the same age I think

I had to look it up but i knew Nicholas Eames was canadian because he said bristol board hahaha
