This week on The Story Blender podcast I had the pleasure of sitting down with Brent Weeks—New York Times bestselling author of The Night Angel Trilogy and The Lightbringer Series.
We talked about building complex worlds that feel alive, the discipline it takes to write sweeping multi-book sagas, and how he balances the demands of storytelling with the surprises his characters throw at him along the way. We also discussed the importance of being a whole person while still giving your all to the stories you tell.
If you’ve ever wondered how to weave together epic-scope storytelling with intimate character moments—or what it takes to sustain a fantasy series over years—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.
Just curious what’s your favorite epic fantasy world you’ve gotten lost in?
