A Writerly Dissertation...

[idiosyncreant.livejournal.com]

in hopelessly fannish realms of thought.

Truth is, I'm currently obsessing over "point of view" in narrative, because I'm juggling it in my own writing. But this is all Thief, Queen, King-dom I promise.

I recently was pondering that both QoA and KoA are not written in Gen's voice. That was something that made The Thief so stellar, so delicious. I have inklings about why that is (which I'll post and try to put under a cut below) but what are your opinions on that? Why isn't Gen telling his story anymore? Is it a loss?

( Blather, blather... )

I would love to have another story in his POV. Unfortunately, I'm too respectful of the writer to go lobbying for my wants in further installments.

Interested in what the other bookish people about have to say on this. To not put too fine a point on it. (^_^)

Thanks!
