Unlock the Hidden Power of Point of View: Master First, Second, and Third Person Like a Pro!

Some other well-known examples of third person limited narration include:

  • Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin (this has an ensemble cast, but Martin stays in one character’s point of view at a time, making it a clear example of limited POV with multiple viewpoint characters, which we’ll talk about in just a moment)
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
  • ​The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
  • The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
  • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
  • Ulysses by James Joyce
  • Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  • 1984 by George Orwell
  • Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
  • Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

Should You Use Multiple Viewpoint Characters vs. a Single Perspective?

One feature of third person limited and first person narrative is that you have the option of having multiple viewpoint characters.
