 @d73175df Interesting point, that any antagonist is portrayed as the protagonist views them. 😃

 @7b682b86 Unless they get their own POV!

 @d73175df Which is always fascinating, though I haven't done it that many times since my antagonist is more often part of the mystery. 😃

 @7b682b86 I haven't done it at all, but I like it as a reader 😊

 @d73175df For me, it depends. If the antagonist is an active character in the story then I usually do. 😃 

What I don't like (and most people SEEM to like so I'm in the minority), is the killer POV in a mystery where each of their chapters is purposely vague so you can't guess who they are. 🤔

 @7b682b86 It's been a long time since I read a mystery, so I don't remember how I felt about stuff like this, but it seems like something I might enjoy or be annoyed with, depending on how it was done 😁
