Re: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies: Alternating Points of view
(The main characters don't meet each other yet, and there are lots of things we have to know about them before the anticipated conflicts.)
As long as every point in the story is easy to comprehend, I'm not bothered whether a book is told between a 1st person and a 3rd person.

The book gave me Game of Thrones vibes too. I thought Galen was like Jon Snow in the beginning, naive and trusting. And Eldus was like Ned Stark. Their deaths were unexpected and abrupt too.Dzejn_Crvena wrote: ↑30 May 2021, 09:55 The alternating perspectives remind me of the Game of Thrones.

I'm really with you, it was very difficult for me too to follow the plot in the prologue that I almost given up reading the book. But, the first two chapters changed how I felt about the book.photosynthesis19 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2021, 16:44 When I first picked up the book, I found it very difficult to follow the plot. So many important events happened and so many important characters were introduced in just the prologue and first two chapters alone. But after the second chapter, everything started to make more sense and fall into place. At that point, I started to enjoy learning about the different characters' thoughts and experiences. Alternating between different characters also made seemingly annoying or evil characters like Midius Maido and the Riva Rohavi seem more relatable. And I really liked that the author chose the third-person perspective for most characters but chose the first-person perspective for the protagonist. This made it very clear who the main character of the story is and that we can expect him to take on a much greater role in later installments of the series.

You are right. The author used this style of writing so that the reader will get to understand who plays a huge role in the book, hence it was impressive.
