1. Close Captions ARE enabled so if it's difficult to hear, the CC might help you out.
2. I made a blunder and there's a weird full minute of black at the end BUT if you're seeing this, skip to 24:54 for an even BIGGER blooper that happened while filming XD

Love this!!!! And DAMNNN that set up though!
thanks girl!!
Omg! This is too good, Sarah J. Maas seems like such a sweetheart and candid person and you were soooo prepared and slaying it with the questions and keeping calm in front of an author! Never read any of her books, but obviously things changed! Ughh you create needs!
she's absolutely amazing
Two of my favorite people in one video!!
love this interview. I'm so happy you put captions on this as there were parts I just couldn't hear Sarah's answers
thank you for your appreciation! i understand in the middle of a busy bookstore it is definitely hard to hear us talking at normal levels haah
+emmmabooks a bit yeah! I can't imagine how long it took you to caption. captioning my videos usually takes forever and they are no where near as long as this video
This just made my Sarah j Maas filled day even better. Though even the talk of ACOTAR #3 is making me need to finish #2 asap.
i'm so excited for book 3!!
Love you both!x
love you too!!!!
I'm trying to watch this but Empire of Storms is sitting right next to me and I can't resist anymore.
AHHAHAH i hope you love it!!
She signed my book there! I preordered it. I am officially Kirsten, High Lady of THE book Court
ahhh we actually all commented on that, thinking it was a super cute way to have your book signed! i'm pretty sure you can see yours get signed in the other video i have with sarah :)
it would actually kill me to have so many copies of empire of storms surrounding me and not being allowed to bring one back with me and READ IT
ahahahahah XD at least it's out now!!
CASE YOU DIDNT KNOW HER FAVORITE HAMILTON SONG IS BURN XD
omg really
I LOVE SARAH SO MUCH OMG. *Fangirling
QUEEEEN
That outfit's so cute. You rock it. Ahhh... The kids in the background 😖
thank you so much!
ahh that kid was so annoying, sarah kept stopping in fear of not being able to hear over him XD
Please, Sarah, when the sixth book comes out, don't pull a Veronica Roth.
I heard what the kids in the backgrounds were saying clearly, but not so much Sarah and you :(
i have enabled captions for the entire video for that specific reason :) i did my best with the editing audio, as it's extremely hard to edit out all of the background noise from a very popular bookstore during business hours
Makes sense!
SILENCE CHILD, I'M TRYING TO HEAR EMMA AND SARA.....Really good interview! I loved some of the stories she told! Ugh I need to read her books right away.
I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING IN MY HEAD
aahhha thank you!! you totally do :)
I love her writing. I've been wanting to read her books but never had the money to buy them. Two days ago, my friend got me Throne of Glass for my 21st birthday. I nearly cried.
that's so exciting!
emmmabooks thanks
Just came from the new awkward author encounters video to see if I can see any sign of Sarah running late😂
Same here ahaha
Ella G she does looks a little irritated towards the end
Class is gonna prevent me from being first on these videos now and I'm honestly so crushed
70TH!!!!
i feel you bruh
Thanks for the tears about her best fan encounters. OMG.
WE WERE CRYING TOO EVEN IF YOU CANT TELL
totally warmed my hear
Sarah seems like such an intensely genuine person! I cannot wait to start EOS and to read any and all future books written by her
Also I actually died at the end xD
she truly is!!!
i can't wait to continue with her books :))
Anyone watching this after the embarrassing author encounters video?
Sarah j Maas got me into ya and high fantasy and she is my favourite author along with jk Rowling
You both look so beautiful
thank you so much!!! xx
Just skipping around the internet watching all the SJM interviews
I am amazed that you are able to get an interview like this...Sarah J Mass is interesting as a person...I like to listen to what she says is going through her mind...the list of names in the worlds she has constructed esp. caught my attention...I have never really heard a story like Sarah told about the older fan and the teenage cancer patient...GREAT INTERVIEW, I hope you do more...because of my own background, I view her work through the lens of an Anthropologist...wondering where she went to school??.......(love your hair Emma & that red dress! :)
Anyone else here from Emma' new video??
That'd be me! lol
I cannot understand how you guys could get through this with that child screaming in the background. Editing must have been torture for you.
agh even just thinking about it makes me cryyyyyyyy
WE BOTH CRIED WHILE TALKING ABOUT IT
I loved watching this! That's amazing that you got to interview Sarah! I met her when she went on tour for Heir of Fire and she was super nice and fun to listen to! From all the videos I've seen of her and other BookTubers, she just seems to be a really cool person. :)
thanks so much! she's the absolute coolest hahaa
What a fantastic interview! Emma you did an amazing job ❤. I literally teared up when she was talking about those fan encounters. Ahh I`d love to meet her she seems like such a genuine and nice person! Also you both look so gorgeous
thank you so much!!!
WE WERE CRYING TOO
you are so unbelievably sweet
(I'm sorry but I can't get past the crying/screaming baby! O_o)
ACOTAR 3 should be purple because red and blue
i think purple or green should be the next one!
I wonder what's going to be her next series, I hope she does some things better in that cause even though I obviously love her books so much but there's always that one or more tiny thing(s) nagging at me
"my grinch heart grows three sizes" haha she is soo adorable. I LOVE this interview! great job
i adore her
Who else finished the book !? 😂
Finished it, took 3 days? Still fangirling, and sharpening nails. (i'm coming for you bitch maeve)
zaheer siddiqui I have an am rereading it! But let us just all agree that chapter 38 was the best.
Paige Robinson I couldn't agree more - fun fan fiction idea - what if both worlds collide - Rhysand v/s Celeana who wins ? 😂😂
zaheer siddiqui i just started read ACOTAR so I have to say Celeana!
Paige Robinson lol tell me after Acomaf 😂😂
Favourite booktuber + favourite author = new favourite RUclips video!
awh you're so sweet!!
“I had a lot of fun writing this book!” Did you have fun whipping Aelin Sarah!!!!!?????
Please use next time microphones the room sound make it difficult to understand what you are saying 😭💖😆 sarah my love, just finished your books on Audible, I am 37 years and obsessed with it 😍😭😍cryed and suffered a lot while I was doing all my mommy stuff, cleaning, housekeeping and Baby diapers stuff… makes my life so much better! Felt in love with all the different characters! Greetings from Berlin 🇩🇪
I can't stand entitled parents allowing their brat to run around public spaces screaming like a banshee when people are trying to enjoy their days out as well. I understand that you have children, that you can't always keep them under control but surely to god you won't be taking them into a bookstore where people are reading when you know they're prone to screaming the place down. Take them to a park or a toy store.
Brutal? BRUTAL? I think she meant heart-wrenchingly terrifying; you may as well just rip your heart out and read it yourself.
I love Sarah but at the moment I'm not happy with her because of the ending of the last book..GET WRITING
This video and the release of EoS made my day! Thank you for this Emma
you're so welcome!!
That story about the nurse and his patient was so beautiful. And I'm so glad I'm not the only who fangirls over my characters and over writing certain scenes.
i agree! it totally warmed my heart
I can hardly hear them over the back round noise.
I did my best to edit the background audio without distorting our actual voices. As we were filming in a fairly famous bookstore during prime time hours, we couldn't really keep other customers under control. I've enabled closed captions for the entire video so you can read as we talk to hopefully make it easier to understand.
Thank you. That's helpful. :)
*The Camera wasn't WoRkInG*
Can I just be you already so I can meet all these authors, okay thank you.
hhaha hopefully one day!!!
Sarah J. Maas is an author I probably will not read. However, my wife is a huge fan and read ACOMOF 5 times. I even tweeted to Maas just to say thank you for making my wife so happy.
I have seen your name floating around a lot connected with the whole diversity discussion happening lately. Let me be clear that I am not trying to call you out based on your views towards the topic but, I would like to know your thoughts on the negative feedback Maas received based around that topic.
I would love if this turned into a good discussion, thank you.
wow, your wife is dedicated! funnily enough, i've seen your name as well!
personally, i think diversity is a VERY important topic in literature. i understand that sarah j maas's books do lack in that department, as many authors do. i think it's important to point this out, and challenge authors to do better. that being said, i don't think any authors deserve to be told to "choke" or "go die" just because their works of fiction are lacking in some respect. i go to a ton of book signings, i've met many authors, all of whom i've met are very genuine and good people despite not having the most diverse books. that's why i think it's good to bring up such an important point and speak out for more diversity, but wrong to attack an author personally,.
i'm a supporter of being able to read diverse AND non-diverse book, but ONLY if you 1. are able to recognize the bad representation/lack of diversity and 2. continue to incorporate more divese books into your reading. so for example, with SJM, i read and enjoy her books, but i can clearly see the lack of diversity & some problematic characters, which i would never ignore just for the sake of the story.
how do you feel on the issue?
I believe that diversity is very important but, diversity has a great deal of meanings depending on how you look at it. I look at diversity from an ideological stand point. Every book I read every film I watch every album I listen to is all based on do I like general message or not. However, sometimes what scares me is that when I have tried to be diverse in my tastes I have gotten a little backlash.
I got a negative comment on one of my videos (took it down because it was very racist) about how I had no right to see the film Strait Outta Compton because I was white and didn't understand the true meaning of N.W.A.s music. Now I may not be black but, I understand what their messages were and why they were being sent but, just because I have a different skin color does not mean I can't listen to N.W.A.
I want everyone to have a voice and I believe that everyone has a voice. I know for a fact that there are plenty of authors out there that write about various diverse groups...but, not all of them write YA sci-fi/fantasy which, is the main genre that seems to be getting attacked at the moment. (that's not their fault either) That's because everyone has the right to write whatever they want to write about regardless. I feel that if you keep an open mind and focus on the messages and the enjoyment factor and of course the uniqueness of the stories everything else will fall into place in time.
I really hope that makes sense, I would be willing to continue this discussion as well.
ok but manon and nesta...............that would be chaos
I haven't liked basically any of Sarah's books, but she seems like just the nicest person ever 😍
to each their own! she definitely is a wonderful person depsite not being the author for everyone :)
This is an amazing interview! I love all the questions, and it's so fun to listen to Sarah :D
thank you so so much!!!
I would guess the ACOWAR cover might be like green or yellow maybe even like orange...
Red_Queen_of_Shadow-Hunters And_Crows its turquoise
YES! YOU GOT THROUGH THE SUBS PROCESS😂💜💜💜💜 LOVE YA!!😘
I love this interview!!! My copy of Empire of Storms won't be coming until the end of the week, so this was a nice surprise to hold me over 😃😂
thanks so much! ahhh i hope you love it!!
That child annoys me - leave the room
Two of the most amazing people in one video!!!
thank you so much!!
hahaha they were bugging me too XD
Sarah is so sweet and great, definitely one of my favorite authors ever.
i absolutely agree :))
Great interview, but it's too bad you were both drowned out by screaming children.
Thank you, I did my very best editing the audio and have also added closed captions so you may read a full transcript of the interview
oh man those pages are like TISSUE PAPER omfhlotnc I feel like im going to rip a page every time i go to turn it
I KNOW RIGHT
Hi from POLAND ❤️
And the end 😂😂
HI THERE
The backgrounf noise is making it impossible to listen to this
sorry! it was out of my control as the only time/place to film this was during the bookstores open hours. i've added closed captions to make it easier to understand :)
those children are the worst.
I want someone to ask her why she hates Chaol😤
I love Chaol!!!
She doesn't hate him
Why would you think that?
She's making a whole book about him so... she obviously doesn't hate him
Because his character started slowly degrading since HoF, in QoS his actions weren't anything like before he acted differently and also his storyline went to hell. Then he wasn't even in EoS. It looks like she has more important characters and stories to tell so she isn't giving that much attention to his character. Whatever it just seems to me that she does not like him very much is all.
About the thing where she is making 'a whole book about him' I can only say that I will believe it when I see it, also I think that she said or decided to write that when she saw that there are people who actually want to know what happens with him and his storyline. So yeah.
My empire of storms signed copy from books of wonder just got here
awh yay! i'm so glad you ordered one :))
OMG THIS WAS SO AWESOME
THANKS GIRL
Sarah has to be one of the chillest authors out there, and I love it!
she really is!!!!
Ahh awesome interview Emma! But now all I can think about is how the books out today and I have to wait a couple of days for my copy to come in the mail! 😭 I remember in your bookshelf liveshow you said your not all caught up in the book series what book are at?
i have to read the novellas, then QOS and EOS :)
+emmmabooks Thanks for responding! 😀 I would suggest you hurry and finish the other two books I've heard Empire Of Storms is unbelievably fantastic! And btw your hair as always looks so gorgeous!❤️ I love the curled look! 😀
Aaah! Mah Queen!!!
FINALLY an actual interview and not just some questions that really have nothing to do with the book and the writing process ! Good job :D
Love this!!!!! But please tell me,should i read 'throne of glass' or ' acotar' series??? I really need a recommendation here ♀
I hope someone asks her about diversity in books. Idc who. I mean I love Sarah and I just hope she can make her books better in any way with the advice given to her.
💜💜RHYSAND💜💜
FUN? FUN? ARE YOU SIIIICCKKK????? SARAH YOU BROKE MY HEART INTO A MILLION PIECES, YOU CALL THAT FUN???
Well Aelin was actually banned from Skull's Bay when she wrecked in her days as Caelena. She was threatened to be killed at sight by the lord of the island.
I've been saying Lysandra wrong for such a long time. *sigh* Sarah's done it again.
hahah she always makes her character's names so difficult to pronounce XD
When I found out that Ashryver was pronounced "Ash river" my jaw dropped. And then it made sense.
l love you
"I got like 250 pages into that"
I wrote a whole book that ended up 41 pages...how did you do that?
wait..so the acotar series doesnt stop after book 3?
nope!
Bitch, the quality of the video though.....
Not entirely sure if that's a compliment or an insult but you can watch the video in HD and I understand the sound isn't ideal; we were filming during operating hours of a popular store so I edited the audio to the best of my ability and added in closed captions of the entire interview to make our conversation more clear :)
You were so lucky to interview and meet sarah j maas! I would love to meet her because she seems like such a cool lovely person! I absolutely love her books!! X X X
why are the book covers just randomly popping up at the bottom of the screen
Wait- ohhhhh... I got it!!!
XD
The baby crying through the interview is unfortunate.. but great video!!
Literally she is my FAVORITE AUTHOR OF ALL TIME.
I'm actually currently reading EoS!!! =D
i hope you love it!!
I already finished it...And damn it was great! Phenomenal!...It is easily my favourite in the series. And the cover looked way better in person. XD...
I'd give it all the stars in the universe!!
If Celenas animal isn't a fox I will die
She has all the traits of a fox
She is resourceful
She's cunning
Defiant
Foxes look like fire they act like fire
her animal form is human
WHAT! She hasn't settled yet Maeve even said they'd celebrated the settle together
Actually It was always known that those were her two forms. Settling is just when Aelin's body becomes immortal
HOW DID I MISS THIS VIDEO?!
I only cried a little around 10 minutes. I had to stop the video and compose myself. Stories like that always get to me especially because I'm going to med school now and I know things like that will happen in my future.
Sarah seems like a very lovely person!
I always love your interviews. You did a fantastic job! Also. That romper is stunning! And your hair looks so good! You just look amazing!
And what didn't record?! Did you have to refilm the entire thing? I'd die if that happened to me. I almost had a mental break down because one of my videos was out of focus and I filmed it weeks ago.
I've been looking forward to watching this video since you talked about it on snapchat!
WE WERE BOTH CRYINGG OMG IT TOUCHED MY HEART
she truly is a great person!
ahhh thank you so much!!
we had to refilm about the first 6 or so minute XD
*Gollum voice*
Yes she has an idea of what she wants to work on,*cackles with glee*
Aaahh I loved this so much! So happy you got the chance to interview her- you did an amazing job!
thank you so so much!!
I saw you at the signing event but I didn't get to say hello!! I love your questions in this interview. so. good.
awh you totally should have said hello!!
+emmmabooks I knoww. I wish I had, but you were talking to people and I didn't want to interrupt
Does Sarah have a title for Acotar 3 yet?
i'm sure she does, it just isn't released yet :)
TOG and ACOTAR crossover? Hell yes
i would kill to read that hahaa
wait, did she say there's going to be an acotar coloring book???
YES
I am sooo happy about that news!!
SARAH J MAAS IS SO ADORABLE AND SUCH A GEM TO THIS WORLD. YES YES YES TO EOS and omg Emma you look so pretty!!! YESSSS
I ADORE HER
thank you so much!
Omg 24:54 did you have to refilm? Loved this interview even though I haven't read any of Sarah's books you guys are just so cute and fun to watch and listen to!
the first liek 15 minutes had to be refilmed XD
OMG YOU TOTALLY SHOULD
YOU GUYS ARE SO DANG CUTE!!!Favourite kick-ass ladies 👌💙
YOU'RE MY FAV
I still haven't read a book by Sarah J. Maas. 😬
start with ACOTAR
you totally should!!!
Oh my gods, did it really not record? If so, OH MY GODS, EMMA, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU. XD I would just die. But the interview was so good! Emma, I loved all the questions and Sarah is the most adorable human-being and I love you both!
IT WAS HECKA EMBARASSING HAHAH
thank you so much!!!
YOU & SARAH ARE SO BLOODY GORGEOUS 😍😍😍
I STILL NEED TO READ ACOTAR, BUT FORTUNATELY MY BIG ASS EXAM ENDS TOMORROW {8/9} & I'LL GET BACK INTO READING AGAIN! 😄🤗
I'M SO EXCITED TO READ EMPIRE OF STORMS & HAVE YOU FINISHED QOS YET? IF YOU HAVEN'T, I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO READ IT!
SARAH IS SO FUNNY 😂
YOU & SARAH ARE SO CUTE 😍😛
Love, Syaza
thanks love!! i haven't read it yet but i want to!! xx
And AGAIN! I bought "A Court of Thorns and Roses" a few months ago because the hardback was on sale but haven't picked it up and now I have to because I love Sarah's personality! What is it about watching authors talk that makes me want to read their books! Also, now I want to own all of her books because the covers are gorgeous. Thanks Emma, I am totally breaking my book-buying-ban! (I say that with love btw) =) P.S that ending, though!
ahahhaha i hope you love them! ACOTAR is so so great :) i'm the same way! i'm always more inclined to read an author's books after seeing their personality :)
I need this book in my hands like now. I'm excited but I'm also borderline terrified.
I FEEL YOU
Great questions, Emma!! Awesome interview and thanks for making me cry at my desk at work... lol
thanks girly!! haha wish i could have said bye but i hope you had an amazing tie talking to her~~
I did! She's so great. I looked for you as I was leaving but figured you probably got right on the road. Hope you had an easy trip back! (We took the lower level of that terrifying bridge and it was so much better haha)
Very impressed with how calm they both were, when the kid started screaming and talking loudly in the background, I wouldn't have been able to keep my cool lol
ahahah i had to cut out a lot of sarah slowly getting quieter, afraid to talk XD
