We touched on this back, oh, maybe a year ago, when we discussed voice (first person/third person). Folklore and sagas such as His Dark Materials that are told in third person have the limitation of a view outside of the characters but have flexibility to move around in the plot. I love the storytelling quality of Pullman's writing and didn't mind the slight distance from the emotions of the characters. I don't know if it's possible to do both--bring us close to a character and tell a broad-reaching story--at the same time. Is it?
