So for my latest story I'm deciding to try my hand at 3rd person omniscient. Usually I write in 1st person, mainly because I feel it allows me to inject so much more personality and attitude into the narration. And I'm wondering if it's possible to maintain this kind of personalised narration with a nameless omniscient narrator.
For example, this is currently my opening line:
And I'm wondering whether it would perhaps jar a reader to have an omniscient narrator, who usually don't show any emotion or attitude, narrating like this. Using sarcasm, expressing emotion and concern, perhaps even mocking certain characters, etc.
For example, this is currently my opening line:
Such a pity that the Empress should have fallen to madness (for naturally, it was madness).
