Point of View

This novel is told from third person, omniscient point of view. Each chapter features the critical viewpoint of a character, even secondary characters at some points. From this, the reader is able to fully view the unfolding events from angles and perspectives that each character, by themselves, would not be able to, and this allows the reader's feeling of suspense to be heightened. Knowing what the characters do not know offers insight into the characters, particularly Shay, the protagonist, because the reader can fully experience the adventure with her, but at the same time be worried for her and her fate.
