Jem
Jem asked Mark Lawrence:

I'm curious - who is your favourite, Jorg or Jalan?

Mark Lawrence Nona!

No. It's like with children. No favourites. You never know which of them might end up paying for your care home.

More Answered Questions

Anirudh
Anirudh asked Mark Lawrence:

How much thought goes into the naming of your novels? Do you always get to keep the names you picked?

Mia
Mia asked Mark Lawrence:

Hi Mark! Which of your characters did you have the most fun constructing? I feel like Jorg and Jalan both would have been fun for completely different reasons.

Tim
Tim asked Mark Lawrence:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ In the Book of the Ancestor Nona's father comes from the ice tribes, and she is a ridiculously rare 3-blood in the same generation as Zole, who comes from the ice tribes is an impossibly rare 4-blood. In the Book of the Ice we learn about Yaz's plan to give rise to a 4-blood descendant to block Seus's attempts to access the Ark in Verity. Are Nona and Zole distant cousins? (hide spoiler)]
