![]() ![]() ![]() Adding it, in fact, created confusion because I wasn’t sure why all these characters were suddenly tossed into the mix, and they didn’t contribute to my overall understanding of the plot.The POV issue also created a terrible timeline problem. Cutting it out wouldn’t have resulted in any confusion. ![]() ![]() They were there solely to show the reader what was happening in places the reader wouldn’t otherwise see.And this was a mistake, in my opinion, because frankly, most of the information from those POVs wasn’t necessary. Some characters had more prominent roles than others, sure, but seemingly random characters we had never met before ended up with POV roles, and they didn’t even do anything substantial to progress the plot. And there didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the POV usage. There were so many POVs that by the time I got back around to one person after going through them all, I had forgotten what that person was doing. I really don’t.I suppose I’ll just catalogue all my issues in order of when I noticed them.First off, there were way too many POVs in this story. And this one was plain awful.I don’t understand how this happened. What happened to this series? The first book in this trilogy was great! The second book was pretty good. ![]()
