Hi there everyone!
After a few more chapters (precisely 5 chapters as I planned) my first book will be finished. However there are some problems which I couldn't solve by myself so I wanted to ask for your opinions.
- There is a city in which my main character is stuck. There are two lords. The city's former Lord has been living in sewers for ten years, planning a revolt against the person who stole his throne. The one who sits on throne is called "Merchant Lord" for he was once a just a merchant. My main character becomes a part of this rebellion because the lord in power (not the one who lives in sewers) has something my MC has to obtain.
-The riot's leader is the overthrown Lord which is the rightful and legitimate owner of the throne. From now on I'll call him the Viper Lord.
-MC has never been in a real fight or war before, and he isn't going to be on the frontlines of the upcoming war. He is son of the Viper Lord's friend so the lord would not risk MC's life by sending them to the frontlines.
-He and his friends will help the injured ones in a safer zone.
-But I have to tell how the war is going on and I can think of no way to do this since my MC's not fighting directly. So I've come up with this idea:
*For 3 chapters, I will tell what's going on from 3 different POVs. The rebellion forces are divided into 3 divisions: Infiltration Unit, Provocation Unit and Attack Unit. Every unit will be told from another characters viewpoints, but this will be the first and the last time those characters will be seen.
- The problem is, for circa 400 pages you have seen everything from my MC's eyes. What would you think about a difference like this for three chapters? Would it be good to read the war's different aspects from different person's views? Or would you prefer stick with MC's view even though he will not be a part of the main war scenes?
