Story narration is told from a perspective - first hand, "God view", or role played.
First hand, where you are the narrator and "I" is used. The story is told from one perspective at a time, normally at the scene of action. The shortfall is giving the reader knowledge that the narrator does not know.
Second hand, the perspective where "you" is used. Normally used for books such as "Kolb and the dragon", or "Fighting Fantasy". It is the least used of the three.
Third hand, "God view". The story is told from a view which can go anywhere - into characters' minds, around the room, outside - all while staying with the plot. The most used of the three.
Can anyone spot my Skyrim reference?
