Novel POV

I have been looking at the outline for the sequel for The Highway West and the story would work even better if I alternated the POVs in the chapter. Something like:

Chapter One: Marty POV
Chapter Two: Nathan POV
Chapter Three: Eve POV

repeat

I know this worked really well on a grander scale for the Game of Thrones series. However, that series started that way.

The Highway West was told solely from the Nathan POV. Would it be weird to shift POVs like that between books. Or to go from a single POV to multiple POVs.

It made sense to tell The Highway West story solely from Nathan's POV because he was new and the reader learned as Nathan learn.

Things to ponder.
