đź“ť 1st, 2nd, 3rd Person POV, Check CW/Triggers
The Broken Earth series is complex but simply brilliant, I couldn’t put it down. The story starts off with several POV and as the series progresses, you begin to understand how the stories intertwine. These individual stories really help progress the story and keep it moving at a great space. The magic system within this story is truly unique, it’s elemental magic like I’ve never seen before.
One thing that I absolutely love is the use of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person POV, this isn’t something I’ve seen done well often. Each of these POV was chosen for a very distinct reason, which you’ll discover as the series progresses.
