Q&A WITH SARAH J MAAS!

[@Katytastic]

ROWAN DOESN'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT LOLOLOL this was so amazing all the LOLs XD

[@toast_0h]

Yup

[@audrikachowdhury4316]

Okay, now I know Dorian listens to emo music. And that Celaena listens to hardcore rap. That's all I need to know.

[@ameliliaa5756]

actually in another video she says dorian would listen to classical and calaena would listen to celine dion and britney spears xD (and rowan would say "whats music? i don't care"

[@chaolpriorronrider6395]

DORIAN IS WITH US

[@mightymoon02]

I prefer Celanea listens to death metal.

[@WithLis]

I love how she talks about her characters as if she's best friends with them, it's so adorable and funny!

[@jessethereader]

ItStartsWithL Right? You can tell how dedicated she is to her story and her characters. I love that she fangirls over her own characters.

[@Aka-wy7iw]

yes! i love her! her books r amazing! she is so full of life! and obviously kills us with her books!

[@PeruseProject]

This is everything. THIS IS EVERYTHING.

[@NicoleCraswellBooks]

Sarah J. Maas is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. (also hearing fantasy authors talk about their characters in modern day is pretty much my favorite things ever)

[@carolinecoussoule7976]

"The smuttiest romance of all time" So....A Court of Mist and Fury?

[@mimimimi7019]

So... A court of silver flames?

[@pearbearlair]

I have been pronouncing 'Manon' as 'Man-nen' and 'Chaol' and 'Chowl' and now I think I have to re-read the entire series because EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW

[@SnorriSnibble]

Chaol is indeed pretty hard to pronounce when you see it for the first time, I also said it wrong through the whole first book 😅 But Manon is a french name with an emphasis on the 'o' and you actually don't pronounce the 'n'

[@Mrzana101]

Shannon Lam I listened the audio books and you can imagine how strange it was for me to see it in writing. I imagined Manon's name written as Ma'nnon and I just gave up on trying to spell Chaol.

[@gbang89]

😂

[@kieraleemurray4906]

For me it’s; Celeana = Celeena, Dorian = Doreean, Manon = Maynon, Chaol = kole

[@Labinzel]

Same! My main issue is that once my brain decides what something should sound like that's how I pronounce it in my head.

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

JESSE THIS Q AND A IS BRILLIANT SARAH J MAAS IS WONDERFUL . THIS WAS SO GREAT X

[@jessethereader]

***** THANKS BANANAS! She's so great!

[@666Dubhe]

I feel like the roadtrip would turn out to be Rowan driving, Celeana shotgun. She and Rowan finally settled on having turns choosing the music. Dorian and Chaol are sulking in the back.

[@sunflowermin]

This made me love her even more

[@jessethereader]

bookvibes trust me, me too! I didn't know what to expect, but she is honestly one of the most hilarious and kind authors I've ever met.

[@ICantUseHanguelHere]

LOOOL "I feel like Chaol will do workout videos." OMG I almost started crying.

[@HaileyinBookland]

ICONIC. ps love how miss peregrine's snuck it's way into the background ;)

[@jessethereader]

Hails Hearts Nyc Had to have two of my faves in one video! ;)

[@SarahShrader13]

celaena is so kick ass sometimes i forget she's a lazy, whiny, luxury loving girly girl. she's so complex and realistic its AMAZING!! also sarah totally dodged the relationship side of the road trip question which we ALL wanted the answer too. smh.

[@alexair24]

taurus moon for sure

[@rebecca8836]

Girl you're so chill about your characters but your books are RIPPING US APART! I feel like Tog is more my life than my actual life is 😋

[@rebekabujdoso9454]

I can relate

[@garndt]

"I don't like any of your emo music, Dorian."

[@juliannawagner8303]

:)

[@gingerreadslainey]

Omg yes. This is definitely my favorite author interview I've seen. Your questions were so unique and awesome I didn't feel like I've seen the interview before. Great job, Jesse!!!

[@jessethereader]

***** Thanks Lainey! I had loads of help from maureenkeavy! We brainstormed together at work and basically she's a creative genius.

[@courtzybabzyyx]

Sarah J. Maas is a gift to this earth 😍

[@maureenkeavy]

The best video ever, to be honest. Roadtrip question is ICONIC. BEST AUTHOR INTERVIEW EVER.

[@ravioli3107]

Sarah's laugh after she said "you should be" promised such terror am I going to live through Queen of Shadows?

[@checkmate2489]

I know this comment was like three years ago But you shouldn’t be worried about living through Queen of Shadows... worry about living through Empire of Storms I don’t think I did

[@julielewis6947]

[@rosyletters1687]

@@checkmate2489 I know this comment is a year old but you shouldn't be worried about Empire of Storms. *Fear Kingdom of Ash*

[@puppytreat481]

DID SHE JUST USE THE WORD 'STEAMY' TO DESCRIBE QUEEN OF SHADOWS? BECAUSE I THINK SHE DID

[@daijahsbookworld]

She 110% did.

[@sim_ile]

prolly cuz it is. but lowkey tho EOS more steamy than QOS

[@cookieaddictions]

[@jessethereader]

cookieaddictions I'M STILL SAYING IT WRONG EVEN THOUGH IVE BEEN CORRECTED

[@katesbooks]

jessethereader that's exactly like me with Tobias, I definitely know how to say it because of the movies, but I still get it wrong... hahaha oops

[@kasienka4009]

I think almost everyone in the ACOTAR fandom is now shipping Feyre and Rhysand.

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

SARAH J. MAAS is like a cool mom..cause when she talks she like a teenager.(not saying that shes old or something).SOO COOL TO BE WITH HER!!!

[@delightfulreads]

SARAH J MAAS HAS THE BEST LAUGH I HAVE EVER HEARD

[@jaylynn2389]

All her books are so complex, and the chemistry between characters is exquisite and deep. I feel like she builds up all this tension, but then doesn’t use it to create a dramatic, beautiful scene that draws readers in and makes them feel more connected to the story. Also, I feel like when she writes about her characters, she says what she would say in that situation, not what her characters would. But despite everything, incredible author and wonderful person. I can’t get enough of her novels and I can’t stop thinking about them.

[@vincentvanstop]

this was such a great interview for real. also I LOVE HER, also also that star killer story sounds amaze.

[@fry6344]

Those were some REALLY good questions. Brought her characters to life. Awesome job buddy!

[@That-Scatterbrain]

how are you staying so calm??? I would FREAK OUT if I met her! she's my favorite author

[@randomreader]

I loved how Jesse was blushing the entire time. I think he did an amazing interview!

This is amazing! I got to see her at one of her stops this tour and it was magical. How on earth did you come up with such incredible questions? Great, great video. So much fun.

[@jessethereader]

Literally the best book tube interview I've seen! congrats :)

[@billym9595]

She looks like she could be Jennifer Lawrence's mum, which is clearly a compliment.

[@karinabustamante8103]

Her personality reminds me so much of Celaena and does low key look like what I’d imagine she’d look like 😂

[@lunagoodbooks]

I loved how this seemed more like a conversation than an interview :) Great job Jesse! And haha that road trip question was the best! I'm pretty sure wherever they planned on going, they would never make it there, at least not in one piece XP

[@letsgetreckless]

This was so great! She seems so lovely, hilarious and fun! What a great energy between you two! Very entertaining video! :)

[@jessethereader]

letsgetreckless She's so wonderful!

[@edenteo5099]

It took me a while to realize that she meant chaol when she said “kale”. I’ve been pronouncing it “coal” the entire time

[@sleepyknight-i7n]

I pronounce it “chowl”

[@aelinaag]

Three years too late, but I think I’ve found my favourite KZbin video of all time.

[@divineseroy]

I am in love with her. She's as amazing as her books. Great job on the interview Jesse.

I love how you ask relevant and unique questions. also Sarah's laugh is the most precious thing ever.

[@JayashinaParthiban]

I am so happy you managed to interview her, you are lucky 🌟🍀 As for Sarah J. Maas, she looks like Jennifer Lawrence to me, plus with her ACOTAR series of Strong Women when Jennifer Lawrence acted as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movie series, seeing her having Jennifer Lawrence's face and with her writing Strong female characters in her books are all just coincidence!

[@katiejoyman1921]
