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 :)

A Goodreads user asked Mark Lawrence:

After recently discussing female characters in fantasy, I am so much more excited to see the Red Sister deliver! Was she more challenging to write or was a different protagonist? Also, if I may, which of your characters would you like to share a pint with? I think Jalan would make an interesting night but I'd probably end up in a boat with crabs. I'd love to pick Makin's brain!

Shaun asked Mark Lawrence:

The way you write about maountains and climbing ring very true to me. As an alpinist and rock climber, I think it had to come from real experience. I have used several quotes from your books on the subject. I would just like to know if it is something you have personal experience with, because you cover the essence of it very well. Does it come from first hand experience?
