You know, I really, really prefer it when fic stays with ONE POV PER SCENE. Multiple POVs make me lose the thread of the narrative, and leave me wondering precisely whose head I’m in, and from what perspective I should interpret the action in the scene. By all means, change POV per chapter. Change POV when there’s a scene break. But. You know. I think it just works better when there is one person driving the narrative at a time.
I mean, maybe that’s just me. Maybe.
I think people aren’t very good at multiple POV stories like that these days because they don’t get exposed to them enough to know how to do it in a way that isn’t confusing. We’ve had ‘stick to one POV’ drilled into us in our English classes so much that in modern fiction, mostly POV-switching happens by accident.
