Alpha was great, I think my personal favorite is Nemesis, I really like how some of the books will follow a different protagonist than Owen, it makes the world feel a lot bigger when you don’t just follow one protagonist as the center of the universe.
Nemesis has many of the same strengths as Alpha, I just liked Harbinger more as a protagonist. Not that Franks isn't also compelling, merely that in any other series Harbinger would steal the show.
Agreed on a multiple perspective universe, with the exception of avoiding perspective schizophrenia as one sees in Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones and so on. That said I just straight up hated the personality of everyone in Wheel of Time so I didn't make it too far into the series. To me Jordan seems like an over celebrated hack, the Scalzi of fantasy.
"If he says that a bitchy woman folds her arms under her breasts again I'm putting the book down.". *three pages later. "Okay that's enough of this."
