I'm so glad you mentioned Ancillary Justice - when I was enthusing at my spouse about it, I said "it's a first-person POV except sometimes the person has multiple POV" :-)

Charles Stross wrote Rule 34 as second-person present-tense POV with three narrators, and managed to pull off making each of them distinctive, and even worked in an in-universe justification as part of the end-reveal of the novel (which completely blew my mind first-time through - real sense-of-wonder stuff).

I know from following his LJ that he was trying it out to see if he could, but I think it really did work.
