BOOKTALK WITH SARAH J MAAS

[@pierashannon]

Sarah has got to be one of the coolest, easiest to talk to authors I've ever seen. Always love watching your interviews!

[@emmasmom0206]

Hey I just recently started watching your videos and I love them could you do a collaboration with polandbanans

[@nayerehshirazi4787]

I love Sarah J Mass she's life

[@paigesaravanamuttoo1338]

Piera Forde, you rock!

[@josephlous632]

Lol at 6:00 Her face when xtine pronounces rhysands name wrong.

[@Rachel-ce8ki]

When Sarah says "You mean like a Mating bond...?" All sneaky. I see you Sarah. I see you bein all sneaky.

[@kikic.6950]

Rachel HELLA SNEAKY OMFG

[@Aka-wy7iw]

[@Aka-wy7iw]

[@tatertot8]

[@thecraz9020]

Maleficent better!

[@berivanb1120]

Most accurate thing I‘ve seen since a while.

[@drfs9341]

"Everyone will hate me after this book, maybe." - Sarah J. Maas, 2016, 10:35 What are you planning

[@emar1797]

I am so scared now

[@Diane-ch1fs]

+ℇммα ℍαgeи Me too. 😳

[@rurounigirl20]

My guess is something goes down between Aelin and Rowan. Either he dies or their relationship will come to an end.

[@emijemdraws]

I think she was talking about the weight of the book and the size because of what she said after. If she wasnt, i am truly scared

[@lynntils]

rurounigirl20 IKR i'm kinda scared that he won't be endgame because they got together so fast :(

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

You guys literally seem like you're best friends :)

[@Torsee]

I think Christine could make anyone seem like a long lost friend, she's just so friendly.

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

+Torsee Exactly!

[@alana2924]

i can hear the celorian ship sinking in the distance

[@keziarukmana1950]

+Alana Vidal the way sarah said "no omg no" after christine said dorian.. my heart sink with my ship

[@luwensolomon7136]

+Alana Vidal I wonder if that means that Manon and Dorian will happen. For the love of every God (fictional or not) I really hope it doesn't happen.

[@Sheechiibii]

+Luwen Solomon Whaaaat? Why? I shipped Manorian since before they even met.

[@dawgs824]

+Sheechiibii Fox So did I XD Like from the beginning of Heir of Fire I was like "Dorian and Manon is gonna happen." No one believed me.

[@darrianbreedlove6833]

+Luwen Solomon Same! I'm a Manon and Elide shipper!

[@Jeanjellybean13]

Sarah's laugh is contagious. Can she please be my friend?

[@miniash3467]

Dont we all wish that

[@abookutopia]

Loved this!!!!

[@fengyie3567]

NO REPLIES YET wow pls hi

[@nomdeplume1358]

I swear if I ever met Sarah J Maas I'd faint....Wyrd help me.

[@marodes9440]

holy skalsky me toooooooo

[@briannalee1998]

Nom De Plume same! I'd scream and faint. I'm so jealous Christina got to meet her.

[@floraice11]

I have a love/hate relationship with Sarah J. Maas's books but the author herself is without a doubt one of the most fabulous people alive

[@eshikad5190]

+Clara Oswald Why do you love/hate the books? (I've just seen a few comments like this and I"m wondering why)

[@floraice11]

Eshika I'm of the minority that didn't like Queen of Shadows. Personally I don't think the Aelin name change was handled well, Aelin to me is a completely different character from Celaena and there is only a two week difference between when we last saw her as Celaena so I don't believe a character can change that fast. Also I'm of the even smaller minority that didn't like ACOTAR. For me, this is mainly my own fault, since I don't like novels based around romance, but I found Tamlin possessive and overprotective, and I'm a third of the way through A Court of Mist and Fury and my point stands. The only character I actually like in this series is Rhysand, but since he's only a serious love interest contender in ACOMAF, I'm guessing Feyre won't end up with him. And lastly, while Sarah's writing style and technique is truly stellar, her weak point is her characters. When I compare Feyre or Celaena to other fantasy heroes (and anti-heroes) such as Locke (The Lies of Locke Lamora), Irene (The Invisible Library) and Lyra (His Dark Materials), they pale in comparison. Sarah J. Maas hasn't quite grasped the idea that the story could be driven by the characters and that anti-heroes are often much more interesting than heroes. For me, Feyre and Aelin are Mary Sues that aren't as interesting to read about as the aforementioned characters (but then again, I am a person who loves anti-heroes, so I'm probably a bit biased).

[@eshikad5190]

I think that the Aelin name change was symbolic, like she's started anew as another version of herself in a new book. I thought the great leap in her personality was because she finally accepted her roots, which she'd been resenting for so long. I thought of that as the turning point. I guess agree to disagree. I am part of the majority that liked Queen of Shadows, but there were parts of it that I didn't however. Chaol's attitude got old fast and I wasn't a very big fan of RowanxAelin. At the start I found it a bit odd that Aelin was suddenly an amazing military strategist, but I guess it was probably something she learned as an assassin. Haven't read ACOTAR yet so I don't have an opinion there. I've never really tried to compare her to anyone so for me she's never seemed like that. I haven't read those books but they sound interesting, there differently on my tbr. If you like anti-heroes/dark characters I recommend "The Young Elites" by Marie Lu. It's a fantasy novel/series (haven't read the 2nd one tho) where (imo) there is no true evil or true good. I have to agree there's something very interesting about a anti-hero. tl;dr: I disagree on the Aelin name thing, I like Queen of Shadows despite a few things, haven't read ACOTAR, I've never compared Aelin to anyone, I recommend "The Young Elites" by Marie Lu if you like anti-heroes/dark stuff, and I gotta agree anti-heroes are cool af.

[@lavenderreads8915]

You should carry on reading acotar if you like Rhysand. No spoilers but... you're wrong about not thinking she could end up with him. However like throne of glass series it does still have it's flaws like you said

[@adriannathurlow386]

Fiona has your mind changed after finishing ACOMAF? (assuming you finished it.) Please answer! I’d love to hear your thoughts.

[@ehayys]

Sarah is literally the coolest author! also you should post a whole video of bloopers cause that'd be awesome!

[@kelseynicole4131]

I totally agree with the Sarah being the best author thing and with the bloopers video idea! That would be awesome

[@isabellestimson567]

"You can use it as a doorstop or to murder people." HOW DID THIS JUST SLIP BY??

[@SarahHamm1501]

Rowan -"What's music, I don't care." I SNORT

[@tashapolis]

Even though I had to mute half of this video I STILL LOVE IT! You two are the best together! I'm still so sad I couldn't be there, but I'm excited for the coverage of the event!

[@camhdz2605]

SARAH J. MAAS YOU IS A FUCKING QUEEN. I WOULD READ YOUR GROCERIES LIST.

[@emar1797]

OMG SAME. HAVE YOU READ AN EMBER IN THE ASHES?

[@mkc_1357]

+ℇммα ℍαgeи that's not Sarah's series..

[@camhdz2605]

+MKC_ 13. i know

[@mamamoomatildakpopqueens9012]

CamHdz FAULT IN OUR STARS REFERENCE

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I met Sarah at an ACOTAR signing last year and she is the loveliest person

[@miniash3467]

Agreed

[@keziarukmana1950]

Christine : i was gonna ask you who would it be? i was like Dorian Dorian Dorian Sarah : No omg no my Celorian heart : shattered to pieces

[@Wunderlust]

she is so stunning! and seems so down to earth

[@bgmevrnl6548]

'You can kill some one with my book' 😂

[@moniii4312]

Begum Evrenol exactly 😂😂😂

[@shelbyjones5950]

Sarah J Maas looks so much like JLaw! She's so fantastic and beautiful!

[@emmmabooks]

wait but i was reading ACOMAF and thinking "i bet celaena and feyre would read each other's stories and love them" "shape..shifters?..." "THATS NOT A THING" every time i watch your interviews i'm like "wow her questions are so creative literally no ones interviews will ever be this good" "i say everything wrong" NEVER FORGET HER-MEE-OWN oh awks i typed that as you were saying it in the video XD "when you look at each other and just have a conversation" so basically how i met your mother silent conversations did you really just ignore sarah saying "you can murder people with big books" when i met her for the first time she talked about burning down her high school so i'm not surprised #BEAScatagoriesTornament2016???? LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@dreamcaster3706]

Shape shifters is a thing. I repeat, it is a thing.

[@anagracefields9868]

When she said chaol was classic rock "AMEN"

[@taylorwaddell1333]

I apologize to Sarah J Maas for pronouncing Manon's name wrong since Heir of Fure lol

[@taylorwaddell1333]

*fire

[@Diane-ch1fs]

Me too. Now that I know how to pronounce it, it just feels wrong!

[@taylorwaddell1333]

I know right! I still pronounce it my way and I feel bad

[@barumph]

This is too relatable

[@leedraconis5793]

Taylor Waddell I pronounce Aedion "Ay-uh-din" and I pronounced Celaena "Ce-lay-nee-yuh" so I'm sure you're fine lol

[@BaReader]

I wasn't planning on continuing with the Throne of Glass series after I read the first book, but hearing Sarah J Maas talk about it does make me curious about it!

[@ameliavs868]

+B reads Books It gets so much better after the first book! you should try it

[@meagan9482]

I really didn't like Throne of Glass and then I didn't really like Crown of Midnight either but then Heir of Fire was just SO EPIC!!! And then Queen of Shadows blew my mind again, so if you're willing to push through the first too it is definitely 100% worth it :D

[@hatoonsarhan1323]

FINISH IT NOW

[@jordanhoffman7097]

The way Manon is pronounced. My life is a lie

[@hinazainab9367]

Jordan Hoffman agreed

[@cassierexroad2154]

I always thought man-un

[@dr3dg352]

This is rrrrrreally awkward as I've already named an oath of conquest paladin in D&D after Manon.

[@dieselreadsbooks7653]

As a person, Sarah is the most adorable thing I've ever laid eyes on. I think I might be low-key in love.

[@frantic_fangirl1987]

Ikr!

[@scionsilverbeat8149]

OMG I just realised😂. THAT ENDING!! no wonder she thought everyone would hate her!!!

[@megangordon7855]

My two fav people are in the same room : and I'm almost done with a court of mist and fury - I'm sooooo glad I preordered it 😏😏

[@victoriafang2900]

sjmaas is incredible

[@camillelaudato7452]

I love the Contemporary Book Story about Celaena and Rowan. ❤️❤️❤️

[@erinmariecece]

I want to hang out with Sarah J Mass so much, she seems so awesome.

[@crumbs6151]

My favourite booktuber and author together?!? *fangirls*

[@jeaninearianne]

This was so fun, sarah is so nice 😂 cant wait for TOG5 ❤️

[@AlexitaMexikita]

I had a huge, stupid grin plastered on my face for 15 minutes straight! THIS WAS PERFECT.

[@doggopoggo2661]

I pronounce Rhys rice because I can just imagine Feyre calling him that

[@sandyreadsalot]

I loved this! Sarah J. Maas is so fun to listen to and I absolutely love her laugh! I can't wait to start ACOMAF!

[@maureenkeavy]

YESSSS this was so great and so fun. I love her so much! And that game was A+++. GREAT VIDEO!

[@gemmafeltovich6130]

I have read the Throne of Glass series and it is probably the best series I've read in a really long time. I haven't read ACOTAR, but I think I might because Sarah J. Maas is such an AMAZING author!

[@nj66666]

Same!

[@angbaci]

YOU MUST READ ACOTAR. The first book is very good, the second book... Jesus christ... the second book takes it all to a whole new level. It's actual perfection.

[@isas432]

Yes! Oh my god, ACOMAF for me 1/4 through of the book and it was already 100x better than the first book. I liked ACOTAR but I absolutely fell inlove with ACOMAF, that book is a literary masterpiece.

[@JuliaLeighE]

I love how much you guys are fangirling over each other!!!! Lol and the parts I muted for spoilers where so funny, it was just you guys making random hand gestures!!

[@emoellieroks]

Kinda makes me happy that Sarah calls her Celeana; the name change still bugs me.

[@PinkLemonArtStudio]

"don't get excited. it sucks right now." lmaoooo Sarah cracks me up. This is awesome, Christine!

[@alishareadsbooks]

My two favorite book people together in one video! You have no idea how much I loved this!!!

[@onceuponabook7838]

Straight off the bat I just knew your chemistry would be amazing, AND IT WAS

[@Creativity_360]

Sarah J Maas like the most chill authors I've ever seen, I also feel like she's super easy to talk with especially considering the fact that a lot of booktubes have interviews with her

[@crescentluna_]

i can listen to sarah maas talking about her books for forever

[@laurenchester3147]

Question Sarah? If Sam wasn't dead, if only Sam got separated from Celena when she was sent from Endovier, and Celena still went about the normal story plot: still ending up with Rowan and Sam found her again who would she choose? Sam or Rowan?? Because in book 4 you in sighted us on how Sam and Celena might have been mates, and how Aelin and Rowan might become mates... SOOOO what would you do?

[@VanessaMarieCreates]

This was awesome! Sarah J. Maas gives the most hilarious interviews!!!
