What is the author's style in The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin?

The narrative Point of View of the book switches from third-person and impersonal point of view to the third-person subjective as the narrative voice looks upon all of the characters and their actions, and then switches to describing their feelings and interior experience of the story. For example we start the story with the image of the sorcerer Alder as he disembarks from the boat (and we see this event from a 'God's eye view') and then the narrator reveals to us the inner apprehensions that the sorcerer is harbouring, and the mistrust of the sailors that he has just left.
