Marco Silva asked Mark Lawrence:

Hello, Mark. Love your work and world building. I don't want to be splitting hairs here but I feel that I'm reading sci-fi when reading the Broken Empire.. the fantasy tropes are there but you give a scientific reason for the way the world is as it is... I'm reading "Emperor of Thorns" now. My question is: what are the main magical systems you researched to create your own?

Mark Lawrence Heh, the main ones? I didn't research any. I just make stuff up :)

Hey Mark! I read the prologue you provided in your blog and I saw the word 'northern ice' came up. So i thought it would take place in Broken Empire. But in reddit you commented -"Whole new world!" So where is it exactly going to take place? I mean in Broken empire or a new world
