For example, in The Eye of the World, Rand al'Thor has 44 POVs.

The fifth column divides the word count of the POV by the total word count. The fourth column lists the total word count for each POV. The third column divides the number of POVs the person had by the number of total POVs in the book. The second column counts how many POVs they had. They are listed in the order of their appearance. The Unique POV Breakdown sections list all of the people (including Quotes and Narrator) who had POVs in the book. If a character has multiple POVs in the same chapter, they are listed again and not totaled up in one line.

The percentage expressed here takes the total number of words in that section and divides it by the total word count. The Chapter by Chapter Breakdown sections lists the POVs in order by chapter. Each book section below details the breakdown of these points of view as a word count and as a percentage. The series has 147 unique POVs and 1,379 total POVs, including the prequel, New Spring. The books are written from different points of view (POVs). The Wheel of Time main series consists of fourteen books and a prequel.
