JS Hamilton asked Mark Lawrence:

Do you intend to build any new "worlds" for future works, or do you see yourself inhabiting the one you've made indefinitely? Perhaps a related question - if you could go back and re-craft your world with an eye to writing many books in it - what would you do differently?

Mark Lawrence Well, that's an easy one! My new trilogy, Book of the Ancestor, starting with Red Sister, is set in a new world.

Pre-order for the win, out in April, etc, etc

I think the world of the Broken Empire has plenty of potential for more tales and I wouldn't change anything, but a writer's imagination is always going to be bigger than any one setting, and new worlds are a good way of inviting in new readers without them feeling they're late to the party.
