V.E. Schwab joins Brian Larson (@brian.reads) for a conversation about “Victorious,” the epic conclusion to the Villains trilogy and the ending readers have been waiting more than a decade to see.
V and Brian talk about returning to Victor Vale, Eli Ever, and a world that has evolved alongside its author; what it takes to finish a story thirteen years after it began; and how Schwab thinks about ambition, morality, obsession, and the complicated people we cannot stop rooting for.
They also get into the books that stay with us long after we finish them, the strange experience of watching beloved characters become part of readers’ lives, and what it means to build a career while continuing to take creative risks. Plus, Brian shares why Schwab’s books, including “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue,” became especially meaningful to him during a transformative period in his own life.
“Victorious” is available now wherever books are sold.
