Goodreads Choice Awards 2025
Alessandra Galletto
Alessandra Galletto asked Mark Lawrence:

I used to write a roleplay with some friends.We once played a game, imagining what would happen if our characters realized we were the ones putting them through those endless battles and emotional tortures, and they found their way to us for revenge. How do you think Jorg would react to this, and what would you do to survive/escape him? Haha!

Mark Lawrence I don't think he'd be pleased. I think I'd have to write him a sudden change of personality - Jorg the Forgiving - and type fast.

Danielle asked Mark Lawrence:

Hi Mark! I still consider myself a huge fan even though I still haven't finished the first trilogy. Covid has kinda brought me down a bit so I've been looking for more light-hearted fantasies to keep me company. What are some of your favorite feel-good fantasy stories?

Bridget Jeffries
Bridget Jeffries asked Mark Lawrence:

We'll be discussing Red Sister for our book club tomorrow. What made you want to write a book about fantasy nuns of ass-kickery? Where did you get the idea? Did any real-life nuns (modern or historical) inspire your choice?

Pavle
Pavle asked Mark Lawrence:

Do your characters have their own voices as you write them? I'm asking this because Jorg is one of the most complete characters that I've ever met, and I can only imagine the process behind creating him(or perhaps, letting him speak). Have you ever assumed some of his(Jorg's) emotions, characteristics or thoughts while writing?
