Some work, some don&#8217;t, and really it depends on the writer. The most common (in my experience and not because I researched this) is the third-person limited. That is, the story is told from the point of a view of a character and internal thoughts of others are unknown. The point of view can shift, but there is almost always an obvious break (scene or chapter) to indicate this. A cousin to the third-person limited is first person&#8211;again, internal thoughts or even motivations of other characters are out of the purview of the narrator. Unless you&#8217;re a god, how would you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another method of writing is the third-person omniscient point of view, which essentially means the writer has the freedom to bounce from person to person, motivation to motivation, thought to thought, feeling to feeling. This can be done, but it can also be very confusing. Unfortunately, this was what I faced with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PRZR2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shadows &amp; Starstone (The Immortals, Part One)<\/a><\/em> by Cheryl S. Mackey. There were too many times when I believed I was in the point of view of one character and things shifted on me. That made parts of the novella very confusing, especially during some of the fight scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PRZR2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shadows &amp; Starstone (The Immortals, Part One)<\/a><\/em> is a not a bad read. It is a novella, and a prologue to the rest of the series. I&#8217;m not against being introduced to a world in this way, but it makes it difficult for the reader to become invested in the world. In fact, I rather enjoyed the plot: four immortals must protect a village and its supply of a power source that can help an invader&#8211;the Dro-Aconi&#8211;gain complete power. The fight scenes were well thought out, and the interplay between the characters of Ivo, Jaeger, Jadeth and Emaranthe was entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is very hard to introduce a fantasy world that has to be built from nothing in 119 pages, and if the reader is unable to connect with the characters because of shifting POVs, then the task is that much harder. All this to say, however, that I will continue the series. The three books in the series are short, and I really think if this was presented to me as a full novel I would have been more engaged. I would recommend <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PRZR2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shadows &amp; Starstone (The Immortals, Part One)<\/a><\/em>, but only if you see as part of one novel and not something that can stand alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(A note: the rating here is 3.5 stars out of 5, but I round up when posting reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and elsewhere.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Available at Amazon:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PRZR2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00RNQUUWC\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/reviews\/\">Read More Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;text-align: center;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\",\"Print\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"big\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"bxwretlind\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Review%3A%20Shadows%20%26%20Starstone%3A%20The%20Immortals%20Part%20One%20by%20Cheryl%20S.%20Mackey\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description (from Amazon.com) Something smells off and it\u2019s not just the undead.
