I recently finished the first novel in the expanse series after finishing the live action tv adaptation and am about to start the second book and it made me wonder about the use of multiple PoV characters.
In the book with the exception of the epilogue the first novel has a dual PoV which I think was used very well. But when comparing to the show. Which is very much an ensemble series where you see so much of the world and better expands things that either happen off screen or we’re never mentioned.
In later books I believe the authors increase the amount of PoV characters which I imagine will be for the benefit of the story.
What do you think is the best use of this writing style? Why did it work there. Do you think there is a risk of the story being convoluted.
