Karl Johann asked Mark Lawrence:

Hi Mark, I just finished Prince of fools and abselutly loved it and I thought this anti- hero side a breath of fresh air. I am from Iceland and recognized few words from my language that gave the story a extra value for me. Is Snorri meant to be from Iceland or is it just open for interpretation, like any northern Viking country and second question, when does this story take place, I mean Stocholm syndrome ? :)

Mark Lawrence Hi Karl, good to hear you're enjoying Jal and Snorri's tale!

Hopeful the map is useful in establishing locations:

In The Liar's Key they definitely meet someone from Iceland!

The period, like the geography, is an exercise for the reader. Though there are quite a few hints, particularly as they approach Skilfar.
