Christopher asked Brent Weeks:

I just started reading your Night Angel Trilogy (I know, I'm late to the party) and you mention how rare it is for someone to read it whole. Just wanted to let you know (bad) aspiring authors trying to get an insight on a writer's mind do read it :P. I think I'm supposed to make a question, so: Do professional writers such as yourself also check out the aknowledgements even if they're not friends with the author?

Brent Weeks Ahaha! The number of novels that I read that aren't ARC's (advanced reader copies) is not nearly what I wish it was, so many of the novels I do read don't yet have acknowledgements, though the final versions will have them. Yes, I do read them--if only to see if/how other authors make them worth reading!

A Goodreads user asked Brent Weeks:

Hi Mr. Weeks! Thank you for taking our questions! I appreciate the work and creativity in your books. I get keeping things real/true to the nature of the characters/settings; in retrospect, do you think the amount of f-bombs & sex was necessary? Unfortunately I can't recommend your books to some because of that content. I've noticed it's not as prevalent in the Lightbringer series and really appreciate it.

Dicken asked Brent Weeks:

Hello Brent, Just got into your books recently through Graphic Audio. First of all, what an amazing series. I am currently listening through broken eye and the series just keeps getting better. My question is: do you feel the Goodreads "Best books of 2014" is a popularity contest and not really a vote based on content? I felt ur book was the best fantasy of the year
