When a book has more than three POVs, I start to lose trust in the narrative. It begins to feel like surveillance instead of story. I want perspective, not omniscience. Any multi-POV books that completely worked for you?

When a character lies to themselves, not just others, it opens a powerful crack in the narrative. Self-deception builds tension, depth, and often tragedy. Have you used this with your characters? #booksky #literaryanalysis #writingcraft
