I've been slacking when it comes to actually writing to be honest because I just could not decide on a POV and the best way to tell the story. Right now I'm thinking a revolving POV would work best, but since I have a larger cast of main characters (8 key players), I wasn't sure the rule of thumb was for how many characters I should limit this POV to.

I want to add detail but I also don't want to overwhelm a reader with this switching around too much. Do any of you have any tips or experience writing in a revolving POV? Examples of books with similar POV would also be helpful for me to reference. :)

The Heroes of Olympus series has around 7 or 8 main characters and it switches around every chapter so maybe you could use that as a reference????
