LeGuin Point of View?

[Brian G Turner]

What sort of character Point of View does Le Guin use? First Person, Limited, or Omiscient?

Simply curious as I'm likely to buy Earthsea soon.

Limited omniscent for the Earthsea trilogy. The narrator tells about things which the characters could not possibly know, but in terms of getting inside people's heads, she pretty much limits herself (there may be a few exceptions) to the one main character per book. (Ged, Tenar, Prince Arren)

And limited omniscient in most of the sf novels I've read too, although there's usually one focal character - such as George Orr in The Lathe of Heaven.

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. I'm especially looking out for omniscient writers.

Well, Brian, if you are looking for books written in ominiscent with multiple points of view, you might like to take a look at my epic. (Shameless plug.)

Sounds fine.
