The point of view of Wizard's First Rule is third person omniscient, which gives the story a fairy-tale like quality often found in fantasy novels. This point of view allows the reader access to many character's inner thoughts, including Richard, Kahlan, Zedd, Rachel, the wizard Giller, Demmin Nass and Darken Rahl. Point of view shifts are deftly interspersed with passages in third person objective point of view, so the reader never feels disoriented by abrupt shifts in point of view.
