Can a trilogy have a different POV in every book?

like the first book is told by a character named X


%26amp; the second by X's best friend


%26amp; the 3rd one by X or some other main character?





not like in twilight, when their are 3 parts in one back. but as an entire book written in a certain point of view %26amp; the continuation from someone else's POV.Can a trilogy have a different POV in every book?
I would like that, actually.





Seeing things from another characters POV would be very interesting.





:) I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, I always think that there aren't any rules to writing other than spelling and grammar.





~Nicole.xxCan a trilogy have a different POV in every book?
Of course they can. It's very, very common in fantasy series which may have twenty books all written from different POVs, and with the main characters from each book as minor characters in the others.





But, like someone else said, you risk disappointing your readers, who have enjoyed being in one character's head and are expecting the same again. And you do need to tell a new story with the new book, not just a rehash of the same story from a different POV.
Yes they can. The Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley had two different POV's in each book. In the first one, there was Isabel and Ethan, in the second Isabel and Arkarian and in the third Matt and Rochelle. It was in alternate chapters, and it worked really well.

Of course it can- I've been doing similar stuff for the past five years. It's difficult, but worth trying. And although the person that said that a differing perspective in the second book might alienate fans of the first book, that's not a good enough reason not to do it.
Yes, but they don't tend to do very well and you lose a large percentage of your fans on the second book. Personally I hate them. Once we fall in love with the characters (which is the only reason we read the sequel) we don't like to let them go
It can be, and has been, done. I can't remember what books I read that were like that, but I found them very interesting. It just has to be done just right so nothing gets lost between them. In fact, I wrote a couple short stories like that once, which were unfortunately lost.
Its been done 2 the point that the vellum was 5 points of view 5 stories 7+ alternate endings/realities and it made sense kind of


needless 2 say i love it


it flopped though
I think it would be cool, I haven't read a trilogy like that before, but I would if I could find one like that. Give it a go!
