sumayyah asked Lian Tanner:

I just finished the third book tot he Hidden Trilogy. I was wondering if why Sharkey was not one of the perspectives in the third book? I really favored him.

Lian Tanner I'm glad you liked Sharkey, Sumayyah. He's one of my favourites too. But there just wasn't room to show his perspective in the third book. I needed to show Petrel's and Fin's perspectives, because they've been in the story since the beginning. I needed to show Dolph's because she's somewhere else doing different things. And I needed to show Gwin's because she's the main character in the third book. If I'd added Sharkey's perspective as well, it would have got too confusing, imo. A pity, but when you're writing a book you have to make these choices. Some people will agree with them, some won't.
