I agree about Patience. She's very intriguing, that one.
Skimmed the article about first person. Glad to see the author gives RH props for using this device "perfectly". I have to admit I get fed up with a lot of first person narration but not much in Farseer and Tawny Man. Only when Fitz uses his acute observation skills to "see" something, but fails (refuses?) to interpret it correctly. For instance, Fitz witnessing the Fool's (to me) heart-wrenching reaction to Fitz's charm from Jinna. How does he not realize...?
