Redefining is a strong word, but she is a very good author

[@billyalarie929]

I was thinking the same thing. She’s published a book a year, in a 13 year career. It’s hard to be impactful with that kind of output. Shes churning them out, not really honing well enough to even be called a regular master of this particular skill. It’s intriguing, flash-in-the-pan stuff, simply because she’s got a lot of followers and subscribers, but not really made something that TRULY stands out. The same can be said for Brandon Sanderson.

Great interview!

I don’t think I EVER knew she has a whole sleeve (2:55)

This is the fantasy author you’re interviewing and calling genre redefining???? Read some Naomi Novik and then tell me who is redefining the genre.

[@dgtheone]

Fantasy has always been and will always be my favourite genre. However these days the genre has been destroyed by the influx of weak authors producing horrible story telling. And you have to swim through crap to find a gem. However I guess it depends on the reader to make a judgement. Haven’t tried VE Schwab yet - so judgement reserved.

Thank you so much for this! She's such a talent.

I think Dana is an extremely beautiful woman. Who has a phenomenal body. What is there not to like about Dana's body? Nothing but curves, curves, and more curves. I think Dana is an Absolute Smokeshow! 🔥
