Oh, look into it if you like, but it’s not fantasy. It’s a “portrait of a marriage”, more like a portrait of everyone and their third cousin lol.

Yeah, I feel like multiple POV is standard in epics for a reason, and lots of fantasy/sci-fi have complex worlds that need to be explained to the reader. Providing multiple POV probably helps grasp that better, with everyone taking part in some event and the setting being perceived according to that event and the characters role.

I’m thinking for literary fiction, such as this, it’s not working very well depending on how long the masthead is and how relevant each person actually is to the story.

Thanks for getting in the weeds with me!
