I just finished reading this book and I couldn't put it down. It is so cool to watch this interview, makes me appreciate the book even more. I like the questions you asked her, thank you for this interview 💖
When I was in the middle of watching this the doorbell rang and my copy arrived!
I'm so excited to get started tonight. Also it makes my heart happy every time my drink and snack question gets used 😂
It’s a staple question.
The Illumicrate copy of Godkiller is so pretty 😊
What an amazing interview. One of my most anticipated releases of the year 😍
Great read, not to mention it looks stunning on the shelf!
Really enjoyed this interview and can't wait to read it - I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Waterstones special edition! Also, Hannah's earrings are EPIC! Love them.
Yes very tempted to @ her about the earrings ngl
I can enquire about the earrings if there is a lot of interest 👀
Someone get CD Projekt Red on this STAT! 🤣
Fantastic interview, really looking forward to reading it. And loved her description of 'The Final Strife' as "a chosen one story gone wrong" too.
This was a great session! Adding the book to my tbr ❣️
Can’t wait to read this one, such hype surrounding it with a gorgeous cover too. Especially after hearing how it’s similar to Skyrim!
Great interview, very excited to read this!
How great! I was going to skip this one, but after seeing the interview will definitely get it.
It’s a great read! Hope you enjoy it.
Interesting interview. I'm gonna check out the book.
However I read The Final Strife last year, and it was one of the worst books I've ever read. I don't even know how it got published. Bad writing (lots of telling and not showing), terrible editing, shallow world building, repetitive to tedious and patronising exposition, jarringly inconsistent tone, complete failure to understand the power dynamics it was meant to be critiquing. It read like a first draft by someone who's never written before and has never attempted to research the periods of power structures it's supposedly based on.
The point of this is, if someone is praising such an objectively bad book, then I question their writing skills and knowledge or their motives.
Ah that is a shame you didn’t like The Final Strife, we have a lot of fans within the community who love it! Hopefully Godkiller will be more your style.
@@fantasyfellowship There are objective and subjective criticisms. I found The Final Strife objectively bad from a writing and editing perspective, like a first draft the author didn't even bother to reread themselves, let alone an editor. Its tone was also jarring, going from very dark and Adult to very Young Adult which was very out of touch with the darkness and self defeating to the very serious themes the author claimed to be exploring.
I don't understand how some books even get published based on major objective flaws, unless readers wanted to like it to the point of ignoring reality.
I wanted it to be good too, and yes, I was disappointed. I had high hopes based off reviews and because of it's unique world building premise, and the mature and dark themes the author claimed went into it, and I found it very long for what it was. Those are my more subjective criticisms.
Still, Godkiller seems fascinating and based on this interview and other things I've read about it I'm (cautiously) optimistic. Thanks again for this insightful interview!
