Points Of View, First person, and changing perspectives
Post Body

I've been working on my first proper novel recently, and I've landed on a pretty neat narrative style (In my eyes, at least): I've narrated only certain specific scenes and the prologue in Third person, while leaving everything else in First person.

I have decided to not give the reader any info on who is actually narrating, and let the audience figure out themselves based on context clues. This allows me to paint a city and world with individual biases in mind, and withholding crucial information. So here be the question: Is this a good idea? Is this even tenable? How can I integrate someone's voice into a story?
