Daniel Greene holy crap your huge
Boy you are going places.
Awesome job Daniel
🔥🔥🔥
I just enjoyed Burning White for the second time and I found the late stage reveal of pertinent lore was not a problem when the experience is a reinvigoration of understood plot developments. Corvan Fuckin Danavis. "Honor, Privilege. All the shit."
I said it before, and I'll say it again: you're slowly, but surely, moving towards that Sanderson interview
It's gonna happen.
I want to see that!
Haha we all know it to be true
SLOWLY BUT FUCKING SURELY U BETTEE GET THAT MAN EVENTUALLY
Shadiversity interviewed him, it's not impossible for him to go on Daniel's channel.
"I will give any author a second shot" - Daniel
*Terry Goodkind lurking in the distance*
Lmao
Lol
@@danielruss7036 Which one?
Lolzzz
I was thinking this when he said it and had to scroll down and see if anyone else did as well.
I like how this feels more like a conversation than an interview.
Me too, and honestly I really value conversations over interviews. They're just so much more energetic and inviting.
Converiew
Knowing nothing about Brent Weeks when coming in, he seems like a pretty cool dude. Don't think he has to worry too much about not being a good speaker or good at the media circuit. I need to check out his books.
You really should, honestly one of the best fantasy books I've read in recent times, complex characters, even the bad guys are sympathetic, and the good guys are flawed, and the magic system and world building are brilliant.
I feel the same. Haven't read him yet but will now. Great interview!
Yall need to start with the NightAngel series and then read the LightBringer series
Good to know. Thanks!
@@barrynzay I'd disagree. I'm a huge fan of Lightbringer but Night Angel bored me to tears. Didn't get past book 2. I wouldn't have read Lightbringer at all if I didn't do it before Night Angel.
I love how this turned into Brent interviews Daniel
Yes, haha!
i'm deadass so proud of daniel for coming so far
This channel is growing like mad!
Read this, looks at subs; 70k... Wasn't that 50k last week? Wow!!
Imagine him talking about games instead of books. He would have about 500K already.
@@mr.teekanee9750 or games and books ;)
IKR ! Been here long before he reached 10k. Proud of him.
Check it now! Almost 2ook! 😁🎋
Brent Weeks you are a TREASURE!!! You’re funny, engaging and all round delightful! Please don’t feel like you’re “not good at this”, because you are!!
Thank you both for this video. Some of us rural living folks don’t have the opportunity to go to meet and greets so these sort of interactions are deeply valued. I’m reading Night Angel now (loving it!) and can’t wait for the Burning White to come out!
Thank you again!
Oh thank you so much! You're very kind. I grew up in Montana and never had any opportunity to see an author on tour. I didn't even know it was a thing! So I totally hear you, and I love that I can do some things like this--and a little surprised every time when it goes well. :)
I'm from Argentina, imagine it. This is the closest I can possibly get to meeting most authors. He is gold, he even answered a couple comments from us in here!!
Brent Weeks omg! You replied. I’m totally fan girling out right now! Thank you!!!! I speak truly though, you are fantastic and should not fret!
Yes, us rural readers, especially fantasy, are an entity unto ourselves.
Thank you again!
@@BrentWeeksAuthor I have to say it, this interview made me want to buy the last two books even more (I was going to anyway as I loved the first three, but you come off really well)
ONE day we will get that Sanderson interview
We did
1. Thanks to Brent Weeks for showing his face to us internet lurkers
2. This was a great interview again 👏👏
He seems like such an awesome and genuine guy
Mojodojo he is. He was great to talk to!
You got an interview with Brent Weeks?! My boi Daniel moving up💯
I was only a few seconds in the conversation and I already liked Mr Weeks :-)
never read his books (on my list) he looks like a very down to earth normal guy. I like it
This might be the best "interview" I've seen. So casual, so human, just great
I never write comments because I'm not a native English speaker but now I have to! My favorite modern fantasy's author (with Brandon Sanderson) and one of my favorites RUclipsr thanks Daniel for this video you really changed my day! So Happy for your results, I wish you the best now that RUclips is also your full-time job!
Best line was the definition of high fantasy is you drop the book and it kills the dog lmao
Sure
I love how half way through Brent Weeks started interviewing Daniel Greene.
"I wanted to make heroes with blind spots" Gavin Guile sees you brent weeks.
kairotox Ha! Eye get it 😉
I love seeing how the growth of this channel has allowed you to get big named authors here! This is awesome.
Hi Ron,
@@adityatiwari2957 Hi Aditya!
@@BingeWatchers YT is a pretty small place 🙄
I'm calling it, the Sanderson interview isn't far off and I'm hyped! I'm so happy for you Daniel, I'm a subscriber just from June and your subscriber count has more than doubled. Also your content is getting better and better!
Tserp 910 didn’t he already have an interview with Sanderson?
@@crackfloor No he didn't, Shadiversity had one and Daniel had one with Shad maybe that's why you were confused
Shad did it and so can daniel
Months later: he did it, and also, Joe Abercrombie and Jim Butcher...
And the channel goes on growing, nearly 2ook by now..
Few authors make me laugh as much as Brent Weeks has with Lightbringer, one of my top favorite series now
Wow gotta try it
Its amazing how your having the privilege to interview great authors recently and im glad your doing so, because it goes to show that your hardwork for this channel has paid off.
Will Bradon Sanderson be next? that would be awesome :D
Brent Weeks is such and good author and an interesting guy. Lightbringer is such a great series I am excited and sad to see it end.
The M & M rider story was Van Halen - for those who are nerdy about fantasy AND rock n roll / heavy metal 😀😀
i thought it was a much older group, not really sure, so ill go with V.H though
But im sure it wasnt, only brown m&ms. It was no! brown m&ms.
@@marktracy1721 Its was indeed Van Halen, and it was indeed No Brown M&Ms.
Holy Shit! Great interview Daniel, I’m just floored at how you’re able to get such great authors on your channel. I’m in the process of re-reading the Lightbringer series in preparation for the new book.
I'm loving this interview. I really need to start reading Lightbringer!
Did u
Reading Lightbringer was already high on my tbr but wow Brent Weeks seems like an awesome dude and it makes me even more excited to read it! And Daniel you're so good at these interviews, such interesting and thoughtful questions and I love that they always feel like such an organic conversation, you truly are a natural at this.
Also can't wait for that Brandon Sanderson interview! hahaha :D
First 2 books are GREAT reading 3 now
Well.... its been 2 years, have u finished? And your thoughts?
I just did, and wooow, it's an amazing story!
God Brent Weeks seems like such a cool and pleasent dude, such a chill an enjoyable interview. WP booth of you
Jesus, you actually got Brent Weeks on here? Amazing.
Just finished the burning white. There were so many scenes that just wrenched my soul. Truly such a good writer of emotionally charged scenes. Thank you for writing amazing stories, Brent!!!
Just pre-ordered the audiobook after seeing this!
What a nice guy! Really cool to chat with. I've not read Lightbringer but now I want to.
Brent is the man. Night Angel trilogoy is one of my favorite series of all time.
i'm at the half of the interview, where Brent Weeks start asking questions he collected, and now i realize why Daniel switched the positions of the author and himself in this video. this is basically Brent Weeks interviewing Daniel instead of the opposite. and i find it hilarious.
This is the coolest! I'm so glad Brent Weeks came on your channel... I was going to start the Lightbringer series already but I'm moving it up my schedule b/c of this. Thanks for a great interview Daniel!
Getting closer to that Goodkind interview! >:)
Hopefully 😂
🤣🤣🤣
His ego is to big
An interview I have never expected but is excited to watch.
*Edit:* 50 minutes in and I thought this interview could not get any better and then:
_"Art should be able transcend all social lines. It should be able to examine everything. That's the point of art."_
And wow. Just wow.
Daniel: I'm willing to give any author another chance....
Unless you are Terry Goodkind
Robbie Moore 😂
Lost my composure for a second when I saw Brent weeks was who you were interviewing. Night angel was my introduction into more mature fantasy (had previously only gotten to read YA) so I was excited to watch this. Also I know some people think you will review Sanderson if you do.....well prepare for a swarm of new subscribers.
This man made me fall in love with fantasy via the Night Angel books. Still haven't read Lightbringer, but I'm very much excited.
Wow never even heard of him
Holy shit you got Brent weeks!!!!!! Whew!!!! Love it!!!!!!
That was a brilliant & really interesting interview! Thanks 😊
Brent has been on my TBR for a little while now but I haven't gotten to any of his work yet. Listening to this just put him at the top of the list in the 'next' slot. What a great guy and interview. Thanks Daniel and Brent!
First, Evan Winter, now Brent Weeks, you really are on a roll. Moving up going places. Congratulations Daniel . Keep up the good works.👏🏾💜🎉
This feels more like famous author Brent Weeks interviews Daniel xD Love this interview though! The night angel trilogy is one of my all time favourites!
Great interview!
I love the series and I can’t wait until this book comes out!!!
Really happy to see this channel grown so much and the opportunities you get from it, keep it up!
Whoa !!!! Congratulations!!! It’s great to see you making such strides !!
I love your videos Daniel, I admire how you pick apart and analyze so many angles of Fantasy. I found a video you did on the wheel of time and I've been hooked since. I've been such a huge fan of Brent Weeks. I have signed personalized copies of a couple Lightbringer hardcovers, audiobook copies of them and a signed copy of his graphic novel.
Awesome! Incredibly stoked to see the channel growing! The caliber of videos especially with the interviews has been so cool to see. Love Brent and the interview. Cheers!
I love this interview! my husband is a huge brent weeks fan and now I need to jump on that wagon. I also love the questions for Daniel lol. Love your channel
That was a great interview!! More plz..
Omg I love him! His books have been on my tbr for so long but I've been postponing. Now I feel that I must read him right now
I never knew Brent Weeks could be so relatable.
This is great! Lightbringer is what got me back into fantasy and also how I discovered your channel. Awesome that you got to do this interview. Brent always seems like a great guy. Can't wait for The Burning White.
Thank you, Daniel! Great interview. Brent is a really cool guy. Want more of these! ^_^
So I just started following your channel and caught this in the suggestions. I have never clicked a video so fast, love Brent weeks and is amazing you got to interview him.
Simply great conversation Daniel, so great to hear from Brent, and excited to read/listen to the final chapter in the Lightbringer series!
Nice, two great interviews in the space of just over a week! Great and fun chat, and insightful. Loving how the channel is growing. Here's to more big interviews!
Great video- I am so glad Mr Weeks was able to come on the channel. I did love the reverse interview. Found it charming.
Re. Lightbringer: I am so excited about the final book! Pre-ordered and waiting. Been reading Mr Weeks since Night Angel and I am so happy for his success.
absolutely fantastic interview! I love that your interviews are even enjoyable for people who havent read the author's books (like me!)
I started reading light bringer and first law because of how much praise you give them on your channel and I just finished book 4 this morning, I couldn't be more hyped for this interview or book 5 right now!
A most excellent conversation, so much good stuff. Thank you, Daniel and Brent!
I've followed this channel for a long time, and I'm just happy to see it grow. Keep up the good work Daniel
This is a great interview to watch. It was a genuine conversation and it was amusing (and still interesting) when Brent started interviewing you.
Hey Brent asked my question about trends!!! 😄. Lol but great video man. Brent Weeks is a genuinely good dude. I read night angel back when I was like 13. I was so upset with it ending that I sent him this almost page long email telling him how much i love his books and asking him if he'll ever return to night angel. I didnt expect a reply, or i thought if i got one it would be some generic response from his secretary or something lol. But his email was just as long as mine, and he responded to almost every question I asked. He recommended the first light bringer book which i immediately bought and loved. Night Angel has diminished somewhat as ive read so much good fantasy over the years, but it will always have a special place in my heart (and on my bookshelf) ❤. Love ya Brent, keep killin it
how on earth did you manage this...daniel you're exceptional
I am so so so looking forward to the Burning White coming out soon! Will probably read it in one go, as I did with most of Mr. Weeks books, they are just so fantastic.
I really loved the interview, thank you Daniel and much love to Brent Weeks for coming onto the show
His series is on my list after I catch up WOT and Malazan
I've put Malazan on hold after book 3. I haven't read Lightbringer yet, but Night Angel is a pretty quick read and I really enjoyed it
Wheel of Time is amazing though.
@@praetorxyn Malazan BoF is WORTHED :D I recommend you to not give it up
@@dudewhat9329 I'm going to move my Calibre library out of Dropbox and redo it probably on a self-hosted Calibre server. I don't wanna be mod book when it happens, that's one reason.
The other is I'm just too busy to put that much time into it.
@@praetorxyn I don't really understand your answer, sorry 😅
@@dudewhat9329 Calibre is a program to manage ebook libraries, so instead of having to make a Kindle collection called Wheel of Time and putting the 14 books in there in the right order, I just pull down Metadata from Goodreads (or any other source) and it tags the books as Series: Wheel of Time, Series Number: 1-14, so when I download my books into a reader app like Marvin for iOS or Moon Reader+ for android, and sort by Author > series > series number, Wheel of Time will be in J in the right order.
I did have my Calibre library in Dropbox, but since Dropbox has now limited free users to only 3 devices, I'm moving all my stuff out of Dropbox and onto my NAS.
Whoa dude. Seriously. This is too cool!! I think I started watching when you had 7k subscribers. You deserve the success, your content is great.
Another great interview. I am rereading Lightbringer to prepare for the last book!
Also watch mikes book
Just finished Lightbringer 1 (at your recommendation, Daniel), loved it big-time, and thought I’d check in on the author, before diving in #2. Super pleased to see he’s a humble, likable, charming man. Thank you both for your hard and wonderful work. :-)
Great interview makes me want to read the books. Thanks for the work that goes in to the interviews.
I think these are slowly becoming my favorite of your videos.
A very interesting interview with one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to see more of these!
I really enjoyed this interview / convo 👍 Just started reading Lightbringer last week and I'm down to the last one. I love it 💕
Perfectly done interview! I'm definitely going to check out Brent Weeks work. Thankyou
Thanks for doing such a great interview. One of the best I've ever seen!
Cant wait to have time to watch this. Very cool!
I've never read any of his work and I honestly didn't know who he was prior to watching this video but man, what an incredibly interesting interview. More of a talk, really. Time just flew by and all of a sudden I was at the end of a video I wasn't really planning on watching. I added both the Night Angel trilogy and the Lightbringer series to my list of stuff to read.
Just read the 2 chapters that were released on the site.. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Wow, this is perhaps the best and most fun interview you have done, Brent is awesome!
Great interview, Really enjoyed it! I am really looking forward to reading Brent Weeks new book. Hope your day is really good.
It is amazing what an interview can do for an author. Makes me want to read his books just because he is an awesome dude.
Yoooo good for you man. This is one of my favorite authors and I’m mad impressed you got to interview him.
Great interview Daniel this seemed like a conversation between two friends more than an interview and it was great !!
Awesome interview :). Nice to see Brent Weeks on your show, great conversation
I am so happy I discovered yourself and other "booktubers". This video has so many weighty and valuable insights and views! Absolutely excellent!
Love this series thanks for the interview!
Gotta say I love this man!! Can't wait to pick up his work!! 😍
I loved this! I already had plans but now I am much more pumped. Also so proud of you!
6 and a half minutes in and I'm ready to buy all his books
Do it
@@turtleanton6539 so far I have the first 4 Lightbringer books
Well done interview....started Brent’s books this summer.....very good
Thank you for that amazing interview. Base on this interview alone, I do believe I will read the Lightbringer series.
Dude this is phenomenal. Seeing the growth of your channel from 10k onwards has been a pleasure. Good stuff. Patiently waiting on the Sanderson and King interviews lol
Brent weeks is awesome. As a person and an author. So original and creative in his writing. The magic system in the light bringer series??!! Yeah..that's why he is an author and I'm a reader:)
Loving your channel, Daniel. Fabulous interview. I'm going to look for and buy some books by Brent Weeks (wouldn't have thought about it until I watched this video).
Sincere best wishes for your success with the channel!
that was a really good watch... Brent weeks seems like a really cool guy just brought The Black Prism.
i really enjoy your interviews Daniel. every time i watch your channel i add more books to read i don't think ill ever get to them all..
your channel has defiantly been my utube channel find of the year thank you and congraz for going full time and reaching 70k. i'm looking forward to watching more of your content....
