Looking for a book with interesting uses of perspective and/or chronology

I recently reread the ASOIAF series and I really enjoyed the use of several narrators across a large geographic location, and I was wondering if there are more books (particularly fantasy or sci-fi, but I'd love to read anything) that has that many viewpoints. I've looked at The Wheel of Time series, and I enjoyed the first book, but I don't know if I have the time to commit to reading all fourteen anytime soon.

Another book I enjoyed was the legal thriller "The Holdout" by Graham Moore - the gimmick of that book is that the chapters are told in alternating perspectives, with half of the chapters belonging to the protagonist in the present day and the other half both taking place a decade prior and being shared by seven distinct characters (as in, the "decade prior" half of the book had alternating viewpoints in and of itself). The novel "Vicious" by V.E. Schwab has this to a degree as well. Thanks so much!
