Ben asked Mark Lawrence:

Having read Prince of Thorns, and only just started King of Thorns, I am far from having read everything you have written about this setting, and generally I much prefer for answers to come as the author intends them - but this has been niggling at me and interfering with my enjoyment. Do you give some explanation about why magic should have arrived in your post apocalyptic world or is it left as a mystery?

Mark Lawrence I also prefer for answers to come as the author intends :)
