Peirs Anthony Xanth (yeah, not very literary, but...) Immortals (OK, maybe only 5 POV's but I think one or two books might have had multiple POV) Tolkein Middle-Earth (i.e. taken as a collective whole. Sure LotR, is one novel in three parts, but there's a lot more than just LotR.) Donaldson Covenant chronicles McCaffrey Pern. Heck, Dragonriders and Dragonsingers had that many POV's in each. It isn't until the tail end of The White Dragon that she reveals a true SF component. Bradley Darkover. A rambling series, not Doorstop volumes, but many POVs if only because it's multigenerational. Part SF, part fantasy. As for Doorstoppers, how about Eddings' Belgariad/Mallorean. A few volumes post 1990. And last, but certainly far from least, how about Zelazny's Amber! (not trilogies, and it's been a while since I read 'em so I may be misremembering the POV count but ...)
