Hey,

I’m currently on the hunt for YA books that have prologues with POV’s that differ from the main story narrative. So for example, the prologue is in 3rd person and the rest of the story is in 1st.

Any recommendations or points in the right direction to find them would be great!

Thank you in advance!!!

In Fireborne the prologue is in 3rd person and we get dual pov's. Same thing is in Jade Fire Gold too but I won't recommend it to anyone. Go with the former if you like, it's a hidden gem.

There is Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. Most of the series is told in the first person, but in every book the first chapter is told by a neutral narrator.
The first chapter narrator doesn’t even use names, they refer to the main characters as “boy” and “girl” for example. And events are told from an omniscient POV. It describes what happened by telling what the servants were gossiping about that day, by showing a conversation between the cook and the “girl”, and by just telling some facts.
I have to be honest that I prefer other books by this author a lot more, but these first chapters in the trilogy were always nice and cute to read. The books usually end with a short last chapter that uses the same neutral narrator again, I believe.

normal people is written by 3rd person point of view and it's very good like you are observing and stalking the characters in the story and you can even predict their emotions even most of the time the writer didn't explain
