While I’m a big fan of multiple points of view, I’d caution writers to make sure they clearly break up whose POV we the reader are in at any given time. I just read a 130 page novella where the writer was head-hopping right and left within the same chapter, which I told them will slow down the reader while they transition from one POV to another.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ll also mention that I’m currently reading ‘Anxious People’ by Frederick Backman—which was the second highest rated fiction book on goodreads for 2021—and it’s written from an omniscient perspective.
