How "avalanche-y" has the Avalanche gotten?

[Landis963 he/him]

I was shooting the breeze with a friend not on the Shard, and the discussion dipped into the signature Sanderson Avalanche.  (Specifically, he'd just finished WoK, his first Cosmere book, and had noticed how often the perspective changed as the climax approached)  My question for the Shard:  What is Brandon's record for the greatest number of perspective changes in a single chapter?  I suspect it is Elantris (spec. the chapter where Raoden figures out how to undo the Reod) with 5 different POVs.  Is there a single chapter across all of Brandon's oeuvre that tops that?

It's not a Cosmere book, but I would have to guess his personal record is in A Memory of Light. The Last Battle has something like 71 POV changes in one (absurdly long) chapter.

That... would qualify.  

While that would certainly qualify, it is worth remembering that "List of Characters in Wheel of Time" has it's own Wikipedia page.

This article serves as an index of major characters in the fictional setting of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. The series has 2782 distinct named characters.^[1]

On any level, WoT probably set records for perspective shifts.

To actually answer your question, I suspect it'll be a chapter near the climax of Oathbringer.
