Wholeheartedly agree with Chris' thoughts on Werewolves. Always thought they were cool since i was a kid but never found them scary until i read Those Across The River and i haven't looked at them the same way ever since. This was a great episode 👍

great interview Adrian! thanks for this. God i love Tasha and their writing.. cant wait for lotus! <3

Oh, I cannot wait to read this book. Ugh. That being said, I've had this discussion with my parents, my wife, my children, and many of my friends...but I am the type of person that would NOT change any part of my life. I feel that I am the person I am today, BECAUSE of all the choices that I've made. And, I'm happy with my life. Now, my life has not been perfect, but I wouldn't/couldn't KNOW which choice would've gotten me a better life, than the one that I've live. Be true to yourself. When I was a young adult, I watched the Star Trek: Voyager Two Parter, called The Year of Hell. In it, it deals with a device that is able to change the future...and it scared the hell out of me. No thank you. BUT, I do want to read the book...and I'm interested to see IF I will be the type of person to JUST read it through WITHOUT making any choices, or would I be daring enough, since it isn't MY life...that I do make choices. AND, if so, what choices would I make...and would they actually have been better. Hmm? You see...I really DO need to read this book. Thank you for this wonderful (and creative) interview. I have LOVED everyone of her published works...and she is ALWAYS and automatic buy. Thank you.

I think a lot of the pet peeves boil down to cases where the female characters are flatter - every female fits into some kind of box of stereotypes (they embody all the stereotypically feminine traits, they're fulfill the female roles - sex worker, mom, love interest only), and all the diverse characters (the support tech person! the mentor! the antagonist!) are male by default. Where male is the default, I guess is what I'm saying.

This is your friendly reminder that there are more than two genders :) Thank you as always for the interesting content that makes me think more about what I read. I definitely want to check out Stephen's books now. One of the things that annoys me is when a female character is supposed to be "strong" by not liking any female-coded pursuits. They all have to wear trousers and hate embroidery. Some of us like knitting *and* swordfighting. People are messy - that's what makes us interesting.

I really like Gornichec! She's great

Yes, the Daughter’s War is filled with poetry in the prose. Mr. Buehlman has taken his writing to the next level in his prequel!😘

Good interview, got me interested for his current trilogy and the Coward. His approach of making all the main events historically accurate remind me of Tim Powers books and his 'secret history' approach

This was amazing advice. My son wants to be a fantasy author so I will definitely make sure he watches this. We are also huge Jim Butcher fans. Thank you very much for your time. All of you.

I just Bought the last watch

Great chat! :)

What an incredible result. You’re a wizard, Adrian!

Terence Mckenna would be proud. XD Fungalpunk sounds like my jam. Definitely gunna check it out.

Thank You!

You’re a madman, in the best way. Started the book a month back and put it down because of some life stress/distraction, but what I read I was super into. Going to be an airport/flight read for me soon. I expect stares!

Loved the book! Looking forward to more of the Fungalverse!

Wow, I can comment fest time in my life

Yes, This thing is always there, that westerners expect from Indians only write stories around Indian myths and folklore, or about Indian life in literary fiction. The same thing was said by Salman Rushdie in an interview.

By far my favorite author of all time. I own all his books as both audiobooks and hardcovers. I'm diving into The Daughter's War tonight. So excited!

Best guest author ever, I can listen to Mr. Buehlman talk about his craft forever. I downloaded the audio for Daughter’s War today, release date!

Thanks!

I’ve been binging the interviews. I’m glad I’ve found this channel. Love the chemistry

I have never been this excited about a new book!! I loved the audiobook of Blacktongue Thief so much!! The only thing that comes close to his performance is Harlan Ellison’s narration of The Wizard of Earthsea!

Master Assassins' and Sidewinders are such great books. I can't wait for the third in the series! Keep it up Robert!

Not to mention, the bloopers at the end of Cradle books. Always hilarious!

Really you liked this book? eragon - to sleep In a sea of stars is amazing. The book had me wondering why it was written. I get the metaphors for each character, i get the deep meaning behind it, but it added nothing to the fractalverse. Maybe in future books, Paolini can connect Alex to Kira, but this answered no questions and added nothing.

I enjoyed this insight a great deal. I'm a big outliner....at least I used to be then headed down a less creative path that últimately became my profession that I grew to loath.

God bless please animated dresden files. I wish for this less than a cure for cancer and slightly more than world peace.

I loved this interview so much!

This was awesome.

Yep. I would also enjoy watch some crap space opera together. And agreeing that humans a weird.

Brilliant. 👏 This makes me even more excited to get my hands on Mirrored Heavens! ❤

Interesting interview, Im interested in native folklore from Mexico and Central America. I may read A Black Sun and Im picking up A Scattering of Jade. Great interview!!

I am currently reading that book now. I am loving it, such an emotional ride, especially the relationship between Ezra & his goblin family. Thanks for this

I know she said she has some recs for Mayan or Aztec work, but do you guys have any as well? Or a place to find a good resource? I've tried looking on Amazon or google and I'm just not sure the products are stories or myths of that culture. Thank you if you see this!!!

This is so good. I'm grateful you interviewed Stuart Turton. What a great brain on that guy. Now I want to read his stuff and Agatha Christie again! :)

This interview made me a fan of the man. I’d heard of his first book but never looked into it and assumed it was the flavor of the week literary novel, so I tuned the noise out. I should pay more attention. I’ll definitely check out all three books.

Love Jim Butcher

What a fun interview! And another book to my TBR.

This is some legit advise here

Hello Adrian, will Divya be invited back to speak about her sequel "Loka"? Thank you.

I heard "My Joker to my Commander Shepard" and immediately subbed

Awesome interview! Love the energy in this discussion.

I first listened to City of Last Chances with an audiobook and found myself so lost but enjoyed it. Now I’m giving it a thorough read through and genuinely believe this is a book I can return to multiple times and discover new bits. Glad this will be a series. His voice work is so good! He needs to narrate!

I ❤ it when you bring Veronica Roth on to talk. I always enjoy the energy in the room, and she keeps bringing the advice that I didn't even know I needed. Can't wait to get my hands on When Among Crows!

She is establishing geek cred in designing games. ❤🎉 -- Indeed, gaming holds a prominent position in the realm of computer applications, often pushing the boundaries of technology and driving innovation in hardware and software development. Its popularity and influence are undeniable, making it a leading edge application in the computing world.

Great chat. So interesting and fun. I'm looking forward to watching part 2.

Amazing interview! The Dandelion Dynasty is my favorite series I've ever read, and it's so great to get to hear Ken discuss it and his other works. He's brilliant!

Thank you so much for this insightful and interesting video! 😊
