Mukul asked Mark Lawrence:

Hii Mark, I was thinking to start reading prince of fools, but is it necessary or required to read the Broken Empire series first? as i heard there are links between both the series.

Mark Lawrence Hi Mukul - no it's not necessary. There are links but Prince of Fools stands on its own, so if it appeals to you more than Prince of Thorns then go for it.

Prince of Fools has more humour in it and less darkness.
