These books utilize first person, second person, and third person perspective- ideally all three but books with some combination of the three are also included.

oooh interesting to see the spear cuts through water here š i havenāt read it; itās on my phys tbr but intriguing that there are different kinds of povs in it! fantastic list š¤©

That was a confusing one to get into š© because unlike other books that at least separate the perspectives by chapter, the spear cuts through water will shift perspective mid-page.
thatās⦠interesting š honestly, though, all the more intriguing šāāļø iāll have to get to it soon
I highly recommend this book! Yes, the perspectives can be strange but the strangeness is exactly what Jimenez is crafting. It is such a unique book!
itās been on and off my plan for a year now! i will be getting to it for sure, i just donāt know when š
I am a mood reader so I understand the whims of the reading gods and I respect them! Haha
Since a lot of new recs are going to be added that mix two perspectives, I'll keep the special ALL THREE books in this comment.
-Wild Dark Shore
-Harrow the Ninth
-The Fifth Season
-The Spear Cuts Through Water
-Human Acts
I would like to acknowledge that the emoji choice for this list is literally perfect š

š Thank you! I tried hard haha
