What is the author's style in Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis?

The story is written in third person point of view in past tense. The companions are often the ones that are shadowed and so the point of view in the story is often told from their point of view. Tanis appears to be the main focus often in the story, but the others will be the ones whose point of view is focused on continually in the story. There will be other characters as well that are shadowed, and so the reader will be able to see the actions and the different motivations that many of the characters have. Some of the characters shadowed will only be seen briefly in the story, but their point of view will add to the overall plot of the story.

The story's point of view is limited to the character being shadowed and while the reader will be able to know many of the character's thoughts, they will be limited so that there are mysteries that the reader won't know until the end of the story. An example of this is when Tas and Fizban are watching the dragon, Pyro, talk to the traitor. Although it is clear that the person has betrayed the companions and that Tas knows who this person is, Tas only comments on the fact that he should not have been surprised. The actual person's identity isn't revealed until a later chapter.

The story has a lot of inner dialogue and description that explains past events since much of what has set the story into motion happened years ago during the cataclysm. In addition to this there is also a lot of character dialogue. All of this will show how the characters have changed in each other's eyes over the past several years and how they deal with the situations that are occurring.
