I love reading books written by Christain Feehan. I just reread the first chapter of "Dark Storm." It is written in first person. It makes the writing very personal and the feeling that come through the writing are so fresh and true to the real feelings of a person. It is written in the here and now rather than what will or has happen.
But what I found interesting is not how the main character was written with the use of "I" . But how are the supportive characters written and how do you write so there is no sense of jarring for the reader. In this book the supportive characters are written in terms of the main character observing the actions of the other characters and listening to their dialogue.
I think further into this story "Dark Storm"  has another main character  that uses the word. "I". So it will be interesting to study the use of two characters using the same point of view - "I".
I will certainly study now a few books and the first chapter to learn some of the ways to write in the different point of view.
This has been quite a big learning curve for me as it has certainly made me think more deeply about  the use of the point of view in a story.
