Like many of you, I write novels set in the same universe. I wouldn't technically call them a series; there are five books and they follow one another in a linear progression, but they're more like stand-alone stories in the same universe, with a single shared plot thread uniting them.
Anyway, the trouble is that every book has a different protagonist. I'm worrying about that insanely, because it seems fairly common in sequential books for them to follow the same protagonist. But I just get bored if I have to write from the same viewpoint for book after book.
I'm wondering, is it going to be too confusing to follow if every book has a different protagonist? I do share characters between books, and side characters in one book can become protagonists in another and vice versa, but I'm wondering if that makes things even more confusing. Or perhaps I'm over-thinking the issue.
One vaguely related tangent: in a YA series, would having a main character who is 21 years old be too old?
