Books With Multiple Protagonists

Not to be confused with multiple POV books (although obviously many of these books fit that category as well), these are all books that follow multiple heroes on their journeys. But unlike books where the main hero has a bunch of friends or a love interest, these books have to have more than one character with a distinct character arc (sorry Pride and Prejudice, The Hobbit, and The Fault in Our Stars).
