The Wheel of Time main series consists of fourteen books and a prequel. The books are written from different points of view (POVs). The series has 147 unique POVs and 1,379 total POVs, including the prequel, New Spring. Each book section below details the breakdown of these points of view as a word count and as a percentage. The Chapter by Chapter Breakdown sections lists the POVs in order by chapter. The percentage expressed here takes the total number of words in that section and divides it by the total word count. If a character has multiple POVs in the same chapter, they are listed again and not totaled up in one line.

The Unique POV Breakdown sections list all of the people (including Quotes and Narrator) who had POVs in the book. They are listed in the order of their appearance. The second column counts how many POVs they had. The third column divides the number of POVs the person had by the number of total POVs in the book. The fourth column lists the total word count for each POV. The fifth column divides the word count of the POV by the total word count. For example, in The Eye of the World, Rand al'Thor has 44 POVs. This is 74.586% of the total number of POVs (59) in the book. The next percentage indicates that 79.569% of the words in book are from Rand's point of view.The Full-Series Unique POV Breakdown section lists combined values for all fifteen books published to date. They are also listed in the order of their appearance.
