Hey Daniel Greene Would you ever consider interviewing Lawrence watt-Evans he’s sixty five so I wondering for him during theses times of biological stress.
@@jamesfrederick. Joe Abercrombie is my current favorite author. When my system tray told me Daniel Greene published a new video with Joe in it, I strongly tempted to click it immediately. I was busy with some work so I have to re-focus. That was hard.
JerodimusPrime and RF Kuang. This channel got me to stretch my bounds to read that and quite enjoyed it. I particularly like about her writing that you can see the characters clearly in the moment making decisions you know they will regret.
@@Severian1 I aim to collect as many Dune eds as possible. Right now I have the Deluxe Edition (love it) and a Penguin paperback. I've been eyeing the folio for long.
You missed it didn't you? Joe said: "I am doing well, and it's a absolute honor and privilege for you to have me on here." Gotta love Joe's sense of humor. Nice interview by the way. :-)
Hahahaha I missed it too, been watching a lot of interviews with great authors and gotta say Joe's the one I find has by far the best sense of humor lol
here is what i love about Abercrombie: Shivers and Friendly talking "What do the dice say?" "Dice say nothing. They are dice." "Why roll'em, then?" "They are dice. What else would I do with them?" Friendly is just an amazing character
@@shosty575 Reading The Heroes now. Definitely my favourite so far. The battles with the fast-changing POVs is perfection and really makes it all the more meaningful.
@@philselby9834 ah. I finished all First Law books successfully and I can say for sure, Abercrombie gets better with every book. Those changing POVs give the best fight sequences ever.
@@shosty575 I'm happy to hear this. It has taken me near 400 pages to find my footing with "The Blade Itself" and my hope is that the story continues to come into focus.
Joe Abercrombie is such a funny guy he makes Daniel laugh so much! He seems so happy talking to him, the excitement really comes through. ITS so ADORABLE! 🥰
And Joe talks with depth. He does not talk just to talk. He talks with a level of logic and clarify that is rare to find in people. He understands what he is doing without getting too technical to it. Joe tends to be a good conversationalist. Wish everybody talks this way.
@@shosty575 Yep. Love the interview too. It is not just an ordinary talk. Kudos to Daniel Greene for adding an extra layer. Joe participated in a tier list thing.
Wow, this is good. You've been getting some high profile guests. All you have to do is get Martin, and then reanimate Tolkien and Jordan and you'll have had basically the entire cast of best of fantasy.
@@fredrikgranstrom6743 I do, and I think so would Daniel. We're both novice writers and both would love to improve our writing prose. Rothfuss is one of the very best in the business when it comes to prose, and you forget his kingkiller chronicles is one of the most loved modern fantasy series out now. Its got a huge fandom. So yeah a lot of people would want to see that interview.
I keep getting blown away with the names of authors you're having on. I've been a subscriber for a long time and I feel like your sucess has multiplied daily over the past few months. You deserve it, hands down the best fantasy content on youtube. I cant wait to see this channel keep growing. Keep up the good work.
@@myciemouse9112 yeah. But again, he has this charm in his books that make them irresistible. As I often say, *say one thing for Joe Abercrombie, say he's a genius* (it's something he does for a character of his- Logen. Like "say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a bastard"
Learning how he started with rewriting paragraphs as he wrote them, to what he does now with quick drafts and more thoughtful revisions is something I needed to hear. Thank you.
"Is it truthful?" This makes so much sense! I am going to be using this motto with my writing. Thanks so much! Love these author interviews; they are very helpful.
Yay! I'm so happy he mentioned Barcelona. I first heard about him when he came to my favourite book shop. I read 50 pages of A little hatred while waiting in line. His humour is on point.
Joe Abercrombie is my spirit animal. Thanks for this! The First Law trilogy pulled me through some dark times about 10 years ago or so, and I will always be grateful for Mr. Abercrombie and his immense cast of misfit characters.
the audio books by joe abercrombie are top fucking notch. steven pacey is a brilliant narrator and he plays each character so perfectly i cant reccomend it enough.
Absolutely. Have thoroughly enjoyed his reading of joes books. Though his ridiculous pronunciation of "grimaced" irritates. Note to Americans,this is NOT how it is pronounced in the UK,it is a stephen pacey peculiarity.
He's one of those writers who is once in a generation. A true great. Just the way he talks makes you feel like he's telling a story. I feel like it's so easy for his mind to build such amazing stories.
aaaaaaa! Just started watching but I'm so excited. I was going to see him on Portugal on may, but due to the virus it didn't happen, at least we can see this interview now. Thanks Daniel
I read the First Law series & extended universe books maybe 5 years ago and I loved it. This video is the first news I’ve had of the new trilogy, I’m ordering A Little Hatred right now.
The entire First Law series is truly amazing. For me, I felt that it just got better and better as the series progressed. Absolutely loved the three books after the main trilogy.
I mean I'm pretty sure Joe is significantly less well known than brandon sanderson, and that was a huge one. I dont think it's too far a leap for martin honestly. King would be hard though
@@irockmajorly Yeah. King is pretty much the biggest writer of our time with J.K. Rowling included, where I would go as far as to say he might be harder to reach than her even. He is the King.
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!✌️
You really should. They're the best fantasy I've personally read. And I've read ASOIAF, stormlight and much of the wheel of time. Best series out there in my opinion.
I read one of his books and he instantly became my favorite author. Hes very talented and writes some of the best characters ever. Ive read tons and tons of books and his just hit so much differently. On top of that, his books are easy to read and get into. Theres no pages upon pages of descriptions thatll bore the shit out of you or anything of that sort, its just story and characters and action
Unfortunately I dont believe he does anything but written interviews:/ I have a friend who wanted him on his podcast and that's what Lawrence told him. But my friend was able to send him questions and he gave him written answers.
UglyhoodRAT if that is what you believe then so be it, but you should know you are objectively wrong. Your comment should read “I don’t like Mark Lawrence” not what it does now which is “I’m a moron”
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 ;)
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.
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.
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.
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.
My hat is off to these fantastic authors their stories are amazing and let’s hope that movies start to use these wonderful stories instead of the same story over and over.
CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL!!!! YOUVE GOTTEN JOE ABERCROMBIE AND YOUVE HAD SANDERSON. (They’re my two favourites. It’s rly great that ur growing like this).
Congrats Daniel. It is amazing to see you grinding and moving up. Being able to interview all these well known authors is proof of your grind. thanks for bringing him on.
wow, what an insightful and interesting interview. Joe seems so thoughtful with all his answers and Daniel is asking questions to spur genuine conversation. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to this interview again in the future to try to pick up more information. Thanks for the great work!
Oh my god I’m so excited to see these amazing authors on the channel just finished all the first law books and they’ve been rolling around in my head for a long time now
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.
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!
Interesting that he mentioned Baldur's Gate being an influence of his. I just picked up his First Law trilogy and Baldur's Gate II is by far my favourite computer/video game of all time. Looking forward to starting his series!

😂😂😂😂😂 this is accurate
and sometimes, pronouncing their names correctly
Can't wait for him to interview Tolkien!
@@supremeleadersmeagol6345 лол

And when Daniel publishes his book he’ll interview himself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean Daniel Greene Screen
First he needs to rewrite everything as we just heard :)
Can't wait!😂
and he'll probably use that green screen for that, too.
"an honor and privilege for YOU to have ME on here" lmfao
yeah, i chuckled. Don't think Danial Got the joke at first.
Abercrombie is just hilarious 😂😂
Yep. I had to go back to see that he said those words. Haha.
whoosh
He’s not wrong tho
We're waiting for talk with J.R.R. Tolkien
Would be EPIC!
Honestly though, still waiting for his next book to come out. He's got to have been working on it for, what, 50 years now? I'm super excited!
Seance Daniel.
And then free him of his oath?
@@nathanmartin3779 yeah there is no excuse it has taken him this long to Finish his new book lol
Joe Abercrombie feels like a slightly distant, but extremely cool uncle.
Thats exactly how i saw it lol
Couldn’t have said this better
You missed it didn't you?
Joe said: "I am doing well, and it's a absolute honor and privilege for you to have me on here." Gotta love Joe's sense of humor.
Nice interview by the way. :-)
Hahahaha I missed it too, been watching a lot of interviews with great authors and gotta say Joe's the one I find has by far the best sense of humor lol
Haha he missed it
He did it, the madlad actually did it. Next time, George R. R. Martin and then we are set man.
And Stephen King!
chai zaeng yes yes yes yes yes please
And Mark Lawrence!
no! we still need patrick rothfuss and terry goodkind interviews! :P
Definitely
"it's such an honor for you to have me in here" don't think my man caught in to that one.
here is what i love about Abercrombie:
Shivers and Friendly talking
"What do the dice say?"
"Dice say nothing. They are dice."
"Why roll'em, then?"
"They are dice. What else would I do with them?"
Friendly is just an amazing character
Lol his prose and dialogue are addictive. Also I laughed out loud reading that. Currently reading The Heroes. Damn it's awesome

@@texman89 that and how he never had the problem with too positive criticism from his family^^

Haha, that's not really a 'posh' English accent.
Lena Zeller as someone from the UK his accent definitely isn’t posh 😂
As someone from America, all British accents sound posh
James Thomas go listen to a scouser, Mancunian or someone from anywhere up north then your opinion might change (add brummie into there as well)
Wow, this is good. You've been getting some high profile guests. All you have to do is get Martin, and then reanimate Tolkien and Jordan and you'll have had basically the entire cast of best of fantasy.
Daniel - what games influenced you in your writing?
Joe - We just talked about this, A Game of Thrones was a huge influence
Not even 10 mins in and the terry goodkind shade has already started 😂😂😂
Wait I missed that, do you have a time stamp?
@@billyalarie929 okay maybe its a bit of a stretch lol 😂 -39.08
At 9:15 when joe says he doesn’t think of himself has a literary hero I sort of thought he was referring to a terry good kind interview.
Felt like that’s Daniels are you an ego maniac question
I love how Goodkind is basically the punching bag of fantasy.
Okay, so we want Patrick Rothfuss, Stephen King, and George R.R. Martin next. There's no excuses now.
@@greysonh8582 😂

Joe Abercrombie answers question with a sprawling response, including film influences.

Who's next?!? Leigh Bardugo? G.R.R. Martin? V.E. Schwab? Rothfuss? Mad respect man!
V.E. Schwab might be a possibility since she already has a RUclips channel.
I doubt Rothfuss would, seeing Daniels history with the books.
Joe casually wips out a first edition Game of Thrones that's worth thousands of dollars
This is the best Joe Abercrombie interview I've ever seen.

Wow joe has some incredible advise for aspiring writters!
Exactly
Mike from ‘Mike’s book reviews’ will love this when or if he sees this. I think it will make him like Joe Abercrombie even more if that’s possible.
Oh yeah. On his discord, he said that he is jealous of Daniel for this 😂😂😂
This is my favorite Fantasy Talk of all time. Looks like I am going to re-watch this over and over and over again.
Wow wow wow...Finally Daniel,we knew you'll never disappoint.Thanks for this!

Congrats on another huge name interview Daniel, and thanks to Joe Abercrombie for taking the time!
Love the Brits. Joe is such a great guy to read and listen too.
This is an IMMEDIATE like for me.
Damn I like him even more after watching this.
Interesting that he mentioned Baldur's Gate being an influence of his.
I just picked up his First Law trilogy and Baldur's Gate II is by far my favourite computer/video game of all time.
Looking forward to starting his series!
Joe Abercrombie is such a likeable, cool guy. Thank you for sharing these interviews😊
What a fabulous interview! I loved hearing about Abercrombie’s process!
