    This is AWESOME!! Joe Abercrombie's First Law is so damn awesome! My Favorite current ongoing series. I love the darker fantasy stories that arent afraid to put the characters through some really dark experiences yet still capture the wonder of the fantasy world. Joe balances the dark and twisted with the fantastical and inspiring brilliantly.

    I’m reading Best Served Cold and noticed the line Joe gave as example his mum would have problems with:
    “Night was falling when they came to the place, lamps lit in the grimy windows, stars spilled out across the soft night sky like diamonds on a jeweler’s cloth”.
    Guess it wasn’t that bad ;)

    Damn, i really love this interview. I learned a lot especially about writing and his writing process. And I cannot miss to point out that Joe is a really cool guy. Like I could imagine talking to him in a coffee shop from day to night and not get tired of him. Daniel, keep it up! Love seeing authors get interviewed. Peace!✌️

    Hey Daniel, this is an unrelated comment to this video.
    I wanted to thank you for introducing me to WoT when I randomly stumbled onto one of your video last summer.
    I finished memory of light last night and what a ride it's been (quarantine helped a lot with pushing through the slog and sprinting to the end).
    Great channel and looking forward to trying new series in the future.

    Best Served Cold was the first Abercrombie book I found and I fell in LOVE with the world. 6 years later and I am a HUGE FAN. Great interview!

    Phenomenal! I picked up The Blade Itself from a local library right before lockdown started and blasted through it. I really enjoyed the series, great character work. I thought the world was fun, though unspectacular, and the plot was a decent twist on the usual tropes. I like Lord Grimdark's writing style, it combines ruthless cynicism with vicious humour fantastically.
    Congrats on another huge name interview Daniel, and thanks to Joe Abercrombie for taking the time!

    @curtjarrell9710 4 года назад

    Daniel, you've convince me to read Joe Abercrombie. I'm a story or two into Sharp Edges and have ordered The First Law trilogy. I think Joes' writing style reflects his personality. The glint in his eye, the impish smile can be felt on the pages as well. I think I'm going to like him, as part of my reading mix. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for his work with us.

    Love the Dragonlance shout out. Spent years reading DL, and it was all I ever really knew. Once it finished I was in a fantasy book rut, The First Law trilogy and A Song of Fire and Ice really opened my eyes to what fantasy could be.

    That dry, sarcastic wit is just so British / Commonwealth. I think it's always going to be almost insurmountable for those not raised in it, to try and ape a similar style.

    I love this author; he's been on my tbr pile almost 10 years now, but when I finally got to his books, I got hooked. I'm addicted now! Cheers, Daniel, for getting this interview - you're moving quite fast up in the world. This time next year maybe you'll get to interview GRRM himself.
