Review: Good, compelling story but huge problems with narrative point of view

I'm not sure I'll be able to finish this book. I like the storyline, but what is maddening is that the narrative point of views keeps rapidly cycling back and forth, sometimes mid-paragraph, or multiple times on a single page, between third person/omniscient narrative point of view (they) and first person narrative point of view (I, we). This is one of the first giant rules of writing, and storytelling. I don't even comprehend how one could switch points of view inside the author's head as he is telling the story to himself while writing it. Very, very confusing. Please don't make this mistake in your sequel Andrew! If it weren't for this huge distraction, I'm quite certain I'd give the book 4-5 stars.
