    Questions of narration and pov

    Do you think this was a true omniscient narrator and if yes, was it well written?

    What I think is that in the beginning it wasn't established that this is an omniscient narrator and that's why those sentences that didn't fit the pov threw me off. Then towards the end the narration was clearer. Also, it didn't feel very omniscient when the story focused on Casiopeia, but it did when Martín was the focus. I think that's because the narrator seemed to be Casiopeia, as in used a very distinct voice that sounded like her. It felt very juvenile, the word choice was very fitting, and that made it so I thought it was a deep 3rd person limited narration, at least when there weren't these all-knowing sentences that threw me off. Additionally, some descriptions seemed to be the character's observations and that wouldn't fit a distant narrator.

    Am I just not used to it? Was it actually well written, because I never confused the characters.

    I somehow like the stylistic choice of using an omniscient narrator, but at the same time don't think it was necessary and led to a lot of "telling". Does that mean it wasn't well done?

    Well, writing this down confused me even more. What do you think?
