Point of View

"Into the Cold Fire" is written in the third person point of view. The narrator of the novel is also the author, Lynne Ewing. The narrator is telling the story as it unfolds, but she also switches back to some past events in order to provide the reader with some perspective.

The point of view of this novel is an intimate point of view that allows a reader to connect closely with the main character, Serena Killingsworth. The point of view also allows the author to inject her own opinions into the narration and to expand on the events taking place to her, the characters in the novel, and the people with special powers without having to move out of character or interrupt the flow of the narration. For these reasons, the point of view works well with this novel and the author's writing style.
