Wonderful interview! It was great to hear more about the history behind him and Steven creating this world and writing these books. He seemed like a kind and goos guy too!
Really nice conversation. I'm currently reading "Assail" by mr Esslemont, and loving it. I think I sligthly prefer his style compared to mr Erikson writing, but I've red Erikson only in traslation and Esslemont mostly in original, so the comparison is not accurate. And I think they are both great anyway. I would be very curious to read a sci-fi book from him, I liked "Rejoice by Erikson. Thank you.
Thanks. Nice to hear that you read Assail. Have you read his earlier novels as well, like Night of Knives or The Return of the crimson guard? Eriksons books is not translated into Swedish so only English for me. I think Ian C E summed it up well, the differences between them in writing. However, the differences between them is not that that big. You can easily see and feel that they are connected. I might read Rejoice later. Enjoy your day!
@@thenostalgicdragonbooks Yes, I've red the previous five books in the series. But not the "Path to Ascendancy" yet. In Italy too, only "Night of Knives" is translated.
I'm so glad that Esslemont has started doing more interviews, it's great to hear his views on the books and writing.
Thanks for watching. And yes I agree. He will come back to the channel for more interviews. Have a nice day!
I always love listening to Esslemont, he seems like the nicest guy

@@callinicobo5991 that's great! Maybe you can give Erikson a try in English and see what you think.
So strange, even though I've never heard Ian's voice before it sounds soooo familiar.
