In regards to point of view, does anyone have any particular feelings about reading stories from multiple characters' points of view, aka "third person omniscient?" Also, do those feelings change if the switches occur in different chapters or smaller sections as opposed to entire books being written mainly or wholly in one particular character's perspective, then switching throughout the series?
When I was pretty young, I read a series that had multiple books in it and within those books there were several different sections and each often focused on a different character. I remember feeling kind of jarred with each transition and never really liking the beginnings of each new section because I was still attached to the previous character and wanted to get back to that story. But now I'm outlining this series I really want to write and I feel like switching up perspectives is the only way the story can be told well, so I'm not sure if I should remap it or go with it...
Any opinions?
