Here is the video from our Babel Clash live debate in San Diego.

From left to right on your screen, our guests are: Patrick Rothfuss, Seanan McGuire, Rob Thurman, Kat Richardson, Jeanne Stein, Amber Benson and Thomas Sniegoski.

The first part of that panel discussion was really great. I just started reading The Name of the Wind, and I’m glad to see that Patrick Rothfuss is as eloquent in person as he is through his writing.
Please get the rest of the debate back up! I really want to hear the rest.
