What are some of your favorite books in omniscient POV? Are there any modern/great examples of using this?
I agree with the current market learning more towards the 3rd limited, with a tighter narrative and a more character-engaging experience for the reader, but I've realized in my WIP that everything I want to do, how I want to tell the story...I need to do it through omniscient.
Do any of you have redeeming aspects of omniscient that work for you? Or any tips/tricks?
It was VERY hard for me when I was younger to control the range of narrative power that comes with omniscient. Often times I was trying to show too much, head-hopping, and just disrupting the story.
