Point of View

The novel is written in the third-person omniscient point of view. The novel is told from multiple viewpoints from Alyss to Hatter to Redd. The author uses this point of view in order to tell his complex story from many viewpoints in order to allow readers to see parts of the story they might not be aware of if they were limited to only one point of view.

The point of view of this novel works well with this story because it is such a complicated story with so many different, but important characters. By telling the story from many viewpoints, the author limits the intimacy between reader and characters, but he allows the reader to see so much more than the reader might have seen from only one character's eyes. Hence, the point of view of this novel works well with the plot.
