My guest this episode is the epic fantasy legend-in-the-making Brian Stavely, whose brand new novel 'Skullsworn' is a prequel to his Unhewn Throne trilogy.We discuss world building and how to create lore that shines through - even if you don't write it in - the Vermont weather - the evils of procrastination and the sadness of not being able to read every single book ever written. And his books of course.'Skullsworn' is a fantastic, assassin-led fantasy novel whether you've read the Unhewn Throne trilogy or you're a complete Stavely noob - intimate while epic, brutal and also tender - it's also possessed of some absolutely cracking world-building.Follow Brian on Twitter: @brianstaveleyAnd Danny: @madquills And UU @uncaringunicastDanny on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/madquillsUncaring Universe on iTunes: itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/uncar…id985787268?mt=2Uncaring Universe is a monthly podcast dedicated to conversations with awesome SFF creators, and is now an official partner of Tor UK, the brilliant SFF/horror publishers.
