My recent TTP in YA were The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa, which was completely in TTP, and now I’m reading Starling House by Alix E Harrow, which has one POV in TTP. When I previewed Foul Lady Fortune, it at least starts off in TTP. I don’t know how prevalent that is in the book. I was recommended a book on Audible after the last I listened to & I thought it was YA, but I’m not sure after looking into it: Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend. This is all in pretty short time frame, which is what’s worrying to me. I’d come across occasional TTP books before, even in YA, but never so many so quickly.
To me, TTP often feels like someone’s reading off their grocery list or is five years old telling the story. That’s just how I perceive it. TILoAL was tolerable to me only because of the narrator in the audiobook. I had bought that without previewing, so it was a surprise. TWB was also an audiobook, & I was constantly distracted by the POV. Otherwise, it might’ve been a five star read, but it just lowers my personal enjoyment of it.
Anyway, I was just annoyed after coming across another book in TTP & finding out the one I’m currently reading (which I did preview) snuck it into the secondary POV.
Obviously, my problems with third person present are my own.
