The Fool came to mind first but as I think about it, I rather enjoy knowing Fool through Fitz's eyes. The Melissande example by Jidzin is a great one! If there ever was a Fool POV I hope it's only one chapter - one chapter that reveals a lot but rest of book continues to keep Fool a mystery.
Outside of Fool, I think I would like to hear from Chade (how ambitious is he? How ruthlessly is he using Thick to stay young?), Nighteyes (how dumb humans are!), Carson (who is like Fitz in physique and character but gay) and Kettricken (particularly how she feels about Fitz... always thought there were some feelings there...). May like to hear from Patience... she's always so forthright and outspoken anyway, that her true thoughts might not be different from what she says. Maybe Molly (did she really love Burrich or was she just being practical given she was penniless, homeless and has a young child to care for).
I think that there are some feelings there too from Kettricken. I have thought that since Assassin's Quest and Verity's death or even a little before that that Kettricken is a little in love with Fitz. She protests to believably when Fitz says that he is not good looking in both AQ and in Golden Fool.
Now that Molly is dead, I think that Hobb will explore that a little bit. Would be a good time to give her a POV, but in the end I like having a single person narrative from the Fitz. So maybe just keep it as it is.
