Ok so Thursday after my chem test I power read Lev Grossman's The Magician King finishing it on Friday. I just noticed something about the book. While I was disappointing with it, the first was much better, while reading it I noticed something. Throughout the novel there were many instances where the author seemed to be speaking to the reader or one of the characters, but never the main character. These instances where small expressions. It gave the story a feel like it was sitting in a room with all the characters with a main narrator telling the story to me, with random little inputs from each character. I want to note that the reader was never actually addressed, but just given the impression of being addressed. It was like a third person POV with small little bursts of first person, yeah that would be the best way to explain it. I was just wondering what other people's thoughts were one something like this.
