The author has gripped a bigger picture with alterations of concern of the reader to various characters from time to time. On the other hand, it has allowed him to include all events that took place, especially the ones which are only known to a particular character, and had no way to be narrated by some other character without damaging the 'natural feeling' of the bookcd20 wrote: ↑02 Jan 2021, 18:59 I think it gives the story a broader perspective, but it can be distracting too. I personally prefer stories that don't follow quite so many people, but you can understand why it is done that way here. For this particular book I think it does make it more interesting.
