Not every novel is told from a single point of view. In mysteries or thrillers, it’s common for readers to see both sides of a tale with the protagonist and antagonist. Romances are often told from both the male and female leads. More epic tales--such as fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction-- might use several characters to show various parts of the story.
