Point of View
I am in the midst of reading Ann Somerville’s “Games & Consequences” and it brings up for me an interesting question. First, an explanation.
The story is a sequel of sorts, following the tale “Remastering Jerna”. Set in a unique world with interesting alterations from our own, the tale is told from the perspective of Jerna, a wrongly accused man. I greatly enjoyed that read, and looked forward to the next.
“Games & Consequences” is good, too. I’m not disappointed. However, the changed perspective (now from Jerna’s male lover) brings up the question as to what readers prefer. Do most folks prefer that the author stick with one character’s point of view?
Knowing there are many schools of thought, I’d be curious to know your opinion.
