Point of View

The novel is written in third person from a series of limited perspectives. A character named Joan is most often in control of the perspective, but there are some scenes that take place when Joan is not present. For example, the old woman named Ajean is at home alone when she sets the trap for the rogarou. She is at home with only her lover when the rogarou arrives. The reader learns about both of these scenes through Ajean's perspective. The reader also learns some of the past details from other perspectives, including from Zeus's view.
