(And then, not to be outdone, my buddy Koda came along today and told me he had plans for as many as six POVs in his own novel. Aveyard, for her 600-plus-page opus, here gives us no less than five - 5! - POV characters in first person, unexpected and unprecedented to the best of my knowledge. Up till now, Iron Gold and the Talon Saga held the record for the most first-person POVs I saw in one book - four in each case, especially in the Talon sequels. Yeah, that Amazing Spider-Man 2-level electric. Maybe it wasn't a bloodbath per se, but it was still quite epic and electric, once again validating my status as a passenger on the Aveyardian Hype Train. I've finally finished Aveyard's fourth and final Red Queen tale, which I expected to be an epic, electric bloodbath.
