Point of View

The point of view in this book is third limited. The focus of the reader is mainly on Venetia, but also on other characters in the novel as appropriate. Using this point of view the reader can see the thoughts and feelings of the characters. This allows the reader to better understand the actions of the characters. This is important because some of the things that these characters worried about aren't usually as big of worries to readers now. Although the view is limited, it is broadly limited.
