OK. The novel that I've been working on is being written in what is probably the 'standard' point of view for fantasy (at least in this day-and-age), 3rd person limited. While I know the rules to both limited and omniscient, I certainly don't claim to be a master of either.
A single sentence in my book slips from 3rd limited into the omniscient POV, and honestly, it's to an effect that I like. While I know this is MY novel and I have free reign to do with it as I please, what are 'Mythic Scribes' thoughts on this? Does this sort of an wrinkle come across as jarring to you, as a reader?
I can give you the example if you'd like, though I don't think it would be the same without the many chapters previous, which I am not ready to show off yet!
