Good day! I was wondering if you could answer what might be a personal question. According to goodreads' numbers, you have written better liked books as the years passed. So I was wondering whether do you think you have become a better author at that time or were you able to write better liked books? (writing it so the audience likes it) I hope it is not too personal :)
Mark Lawrence
Not personal at all, just impossible to unwrap from the obvious tendency for series (& authors) to get progressively higher average scores as the readers that don't like the books stop reading them (90%+ of book 2s score higher than book 1s. If you 1* book 1 you won't be reading book 2, so you won't 1* that).

Hi Mark Is the »ver« in »ver Snagason« pronounced with an f-sound, as in German »von« (fon) or Dutch »van« (fan)? In my mind I am inclined to pronounce it as »fer Snagason«, but I know that many anglophones would not. I would love to know how you pronounce it.
