The Difficulty of Third Person "Objective"

At this point, I am mostly here to complain.
Those who have been reading my story "The Last Illusion" may know by now what I am talking about. The story is read out of a book. The book writes itself. But, "most" of the time, it is not a character. In fact, it seems literally incapable of treating itself as one.
The third person limited point of view describes the thoughts and feelings of a single character. "The Last Illusion" features the thoughts and feelings of none. I have looked this up. It is called Third Person Objective.
Writing this story is to this end very difficult. Especially because people and ponies often do not say what they mean, nor mean what they say. I will probably get a little meta about it in the future. If I have not already.
I suppose I have nothing more to say on the matter. My hope is that readers of any story from an objective third person point of view realize the daunting task an author takes in "showing, not telling" a character's emotions and motivations, expositing on their thoughts with only the subtlest of language cues.
