Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Third Person
The narrator dishes all Tilja's deeds, from her innermost thoughts to her best actions. What this means for us as readers, is that we don't learn any secrets ahead of time, but instead stay in sync with our heroine as she discovers her own powers and heads into different kinds of danger. It keeps the suspense high, and encourages us to root for Tilja as the story unfolds. Just check out this scene when Tilja struggles to free herself and her friends from bandits:
Carefully Tilja worked herself across the cave floor toward where the sound had come from. She found a leg by touch, turned herself round and by slithering herself up against the wall managed to reach the gag and untie it. Meena muttered savagely under her breath for a little, then whispered aloud, almost sobbing with pain. (7.75)
We are right there with Tilja every step of the way… or inch of the cave floor as the case may be.
