In this episode of Rogues in the House, Logan, Matt, and James talk about the importance of POV as it related to Sword & Sorcery and Dark Fantasy. If you can't iron down your point-of-view, then you've got a pile of garbage no matter how good the prose is. They talk about different styles of POV, multiple POV, psychic distance, and the purpose of a narrator.
