Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Books

1st person or 3rd person?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Nexfalx:
Hmmm, third person is cool and all, it has it's advantages, like hopping from character to character, the biggest flaw (to me) in the Dresden Files is when cool stuff is happening in the back ground or half way around the world but we only get to hear about it because harry wasn't present, or awake or what ever else. That is not to say that First person isn't all that bad either you get to be Much closer to the protagonist, in this case harry, than you would when you jump between 4 character or more in a book and only view them in third person not from in their head.

so both are fun and i don't care how he writes this series because if it's anything like DF or CA this will be right up there with my favorites.

PilgrimDan:
From this reading (part 2 is there, too) I'd say Cinder Spires is written in the third person, omniscient or not.

On switching perspectives:

You know what I would LOVE to see?

e-books being used to somewhat full potential.

Since we're talking about Codex Alera, why do I have to read the chapters sequentially? I like Amara's chapters in FLF.  Why can't I just read all of her chapters, right in a row?

It would be child's play, technologically.

edit: This would be utterly amazing in ASoIaF, as well.

Sounds like a fan project. *snaps fingers* Hop to it! ;)

Sully:
Not sure how I would distribute it without breaking copyright laws and encouraging piracy. :P

Besides, I don't own the e-books, only the hardcovers.
