The book is written in third person from a somewhat limited perspective. The point of view varies from one character to the next, depending on where the action is taking place. For example, the reader sees events from Skip's perspective when he is in Damulog where the priest is killed. Skip doesn't know the identity of the assassin, meaning the reader doesn't yet know. That piece of information is revealed much later.
