What is the narrator point of view in the novel, The Bronze King?

Charnas uses first-person narrative to develop Valentine's character. By allowing Valentine to tell her own story, Charnas mitigates the protagonist's caustic tone of the subject matter and strengthens the immediacy of Valentine's voice and experiences. At times when she is narrating events, Valentine seems to be speaking directly to the reader. This allows her an informal, conversational narrative voice which is highly effective in realistically relating the emotions and conflicts of the protagonist.
