In my novel, Character A and Character B are sort of frenemies. At the climax of the novel, when interacting with the main antagonist, Character B unexpectedly kills the antagonist.
In the last draft, Character B didn't have a PoV of their own, so this was all seen through Character A's eyes. It was a really fun, "wait, WHAT??" moment for me to write.
Now, though, Character B has had a point of view for the whole novel. This is their moment to shine at the climax of the novel.
So I have to decide which one is better. A would provide shock value and make the plot twist more out-of-the-blue and unexpected. B would provide further character depth and let the moment belong to B entirely.
Which do you think I should go for?
