Nikki asked Shiriluna Nott:

First off, I'm not done reading Nightfall yet but it's off to a fab start. I like how you gave Joel a viewpoint. He was my favorite character from book one. With so many memorable characters in the series, do you have any plans to give additional view points in upcoming books in the Arden Chronicles?

Shiriluna Nott I'm happy to hear you're enjoying Nightfall. SaJa and I needed a way to portray the two very distinct subplots happening in the novel (the events surrounding the Northern Empire as one, and the political unrest inside Arden as another). Giving Joel a viewpoint was the most logical solution. (Plus, it gave us a chance to get inside the head of my personal favorite character). Both Joel and Gib will retain viewpoints in Book Three, and we will be adding more viewpoints, too. Four or five returning characters will get major face time in the third installment. It's going to be interesting.
