What book would you most enjoy alternate perspectives of?

[Fwahm]

As you know, each book only has a single narrator (with a few exceptions), and thus you only get to see what they see.  If you could pick one book to get the others' perspectives on, which would it be?

I'd pick The Capture.

[Stephquiem]

I think there are parts of books that I'd like alternate perspectives on. Since I was always a J/C fangirl, I would have liked to see Cassie's perspective in books 26 and 53.  Or Rachel's perspective in any of Tobias' books.

Actually, I would've liked more of Tobias and Ax's perspectives, period.

agreed. every other turn wasn't nearly enough.

[Venus]

I would love a Rachel perspective of 33. Luckily there's a fanfic version on ff.net that's very good.

I was also very dissapointed in 54 that when Rachel was killed Tobias didn't get a chapter till 3 years later. By rights he should have had the chapter immediately after hers.

[Chad32]

I think he should have too. That was weird. Just one of many strange things about that book, though.

More from Ax, period... He and Tobias had the truly unique perspectives of the bunch...

No offense, because many of you clearly hold Tobias in the highest esteem, but he was probably one of my least favorite characters... 
And I felt very emotionally and mentally drained after reading anything from his perspective...

Ax was probably the hardest to write a point of view for though... the whole 'completely different point of view that even the author couldn't possibly fully identify with' thing...

#26 from the Ellimist's perspective would have been fascinating.  Or #48, from either Crayak's or Drode's.  Or David's, for that matter.

AC, from Arbron's perspective, or Alloran's.  Maybe it's just that I wanted something from Arbron's point of view.  He didn't get nearly enough written about him in the series.

Oooh, or how about #33 from Taylor's point of view?  Either the Yeerk, or the human, either of them would have been fascinating.  All of her character development came from what Tobias thought of her, and you have to admit, he's probably just a leeeetle biased on the subject.

#10 or #53/#54 from Erek's perspective would have been interesting.  Erek was another character who, for how major a character he was, kind of got short-changed in the character development department.

Seeing something from Aftran's perspective would have been cool, too.  Like, what she was thinking when she decided to become trapped as a humpback whale.

Fanfic writers, are you guys taking notes?

And, of course, I agree with everyone who has said that Tobias and Ax didn't get enough books.  It was so unfair!  They're my two favorite characters, and they both got gypped in favor of the boring stupid human characters!

Anything from Rachel's POV post the Return.

Peter or Eva's POV post whatever book Eva returns in.

[Dameg]

I agree that a book with Erek's perspective would have been very interesting. Like David, he was one of the main character but didn't have his word to say.

If anyone really wants to see alternate POVs then I might be able to work them into my fic at some point.

I'd like to see quite a few books from an alternate view point, or at least parts of them.

#1 - Would be interesting to see someone else's POV of how it all started. Especially parts we didn't see from Jake's view (eg. Cassie learning to morph clothing and Tobias getting trapped in morph).

#3 - Seeing the others on the truck ship as fish and what the others were thinking when Tobias went AWOL.

#4 - The Whale's POV! 

#6 - Anyone besides Jake, but especially Ax. How hilarious would it be to see him playing Jake? 

#7 - Ellimist and/or Crayak to see them observing the "game" in progress. The Ellimist knew they wouldn't give up the fight, but I bet Crayak thought they might.

#8 - Anyone other than Ax. Preferably Jake or Tobias, but it might be fun to see Cassie's POV of the dinner scene where Ax morphed Jake.

I like this game!

What I wanted more of in general were Chronicles books. I think Visser Three had more to say than narrating 1/3 of the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, I would have loved a Taxxon Chronicles narrated by Arbron, I wanted to hear from Alloran A LOT, but also Seerow, maybe some kind of counterpoint, since they both did something egregiously illegal but one out of compassion and one out of...I guess desperation? I'd have loved to hear from Crayak in the Ellimist Chronicles, and right now I'm toying with the idea of a fic set during the final arc of the series told from Toby's perspective.

If that hasn't been done to death yet.

[Chad32]

Too many to list. Just too many. Basically any book where a character besides the current narrator played a large part. Like Cassie's or Tobias' perspective in book 1, Ax's perspective in book 6, and so on.

Can you imagine what Ax thought in book 6? Jake going through a fate worse than death, while he must spend three days in a Human home with a controller.

That would have a lot of potential for an Fanfic.

[Gaz]

Agreed with what people before have said. More from Ax's perspective would have been great. I would have liked to hear more about how he viewed events and more about how he was adapting to being so far from home.

Yes, the occasional comedic moment with Ax being out of place was fun, but even when I was younger, I kind of wished there was often the more serious angle about how he was adjusting.

[Darth Revan]

I'd like to see Everyone's perspective on The Attack. Personally, I thought The Attack could've been a Megamorphs. They could've done so much with that premise.

[anijen21]

I agree. That was a really well done book that wouldn't have suffered from 50 extra pages or so.
