I was thinking of doing POV chapters too but I'm not sure that works in Kinetic novel form because I want the charachter on scene, though I could have only one charachter expressing inner thoughts per chapter and just bounce around as necessary? Not a new character per chapter though no.

The other problem is some key characters have secrets lol. Which I'm not sure how to handle. Like it would seem kinda suspicious to have those characters never have POVs, or have their story be told through the eye of a bodyguard or something when other characters are not.

I think I'm probably still going to do something POV-esque because I do want SOMEONE giving personal perspective on events and I dont know that I want it to just be a handful of them. I guess i'll just have to be careful with the scope of WHO is getting POVs so its not so broad that its really suspicious when a particular character isn't.
