Let's settle this, once and for all. Battle royale!
... okay honestly this is just to satisfy my own curiosity...
I am a big supporter (as a reader) of third person pov, alternating. A la, Those Who Wait.
However, some of my favorite books have been written in first person, singular pov (eg, Alone by EJ Noyes).
Third person, singular point of view is something that I prefer as a writer, at times, because it allows for a mystery. For a love ~reveal~, like in When You Least Expect It. So, I don't prefer it as a reader as I like to know everything in everyone's head, all of the time. But I do think it's helpful and has merits.
First person alternating pov... I honestly can't think of a book that features this, off the top of my head?
So, please, tell me your thoughts!
Honestly, I would even love comments with your explained thoughts and preferences. I really wanted to be able to have a ranked poll (you can choose what you like and then your second preference) but patreon doesn't allow that (bummer)
