I would love to read from Will's echo's POV, the prince. He didn't make many appearances but was such a vital character. I think it would be interesting knowing what happened to him and what he was doing while Will and Peter were running about.

Yes! He seemed to guide Will on what he needed to do next, but was in the background most of the time. We really didnt get the chance to learn much about him!

Aurilius' story would be quite interesting to read through, but I hope it leads to more stories about harmonies.

While it might seem interesting to read the Prince's PoV, I doubt it would be all that surprising considering we can basically accout for most of his actions and locations. I think a Sound and Echoes life run parallel.

I think his PoV would not come as much different from Will's. Even though he is a prince, I think his desperation to prove his father innocent of being called a thief mirrors that of Will trying to get Emmy back to his parents.

I think it would be cool to have a shifting POV between Emmy and Will, and really develop their twin relationship more.

I would love this! It would actually make them feel like twins, because they felt more like acquaintances in this book

I would really like to learn more about the prince. He barely did anything in this book, but in the future it would be interesting to see him develop as a character.

I agree! He has to have a big story to share - we just went able to see it in this one

For me, I would like to see the story through the eyes of Emily.

A character of the story and a twin to Will, who endured alongside her brother.

Thank you for the question.

I felt that Pellucid has a lot of potential as a character, and reading the story from her point of view would add a lot to the story and provide some insight into her character!
I agree! I would have loved to see more of Dew. She fell into the background once she was uncovered and I kept waiting for her to do more in the story.

I go for a Twin brother (Will). At young age he was able to adapt such situation. His braveness make him decide to go after his lost twin sister. The story became more interesting because of this.

I would want to read it from Emmy's point of view. I want to know what all she experienced in Echoland.
