Baron Rikard (I know he doesn’t get a POV)
I could read whole books about just these characters they’re all great

Sunny. Her ability to remain positive despite her horrific backstory is pretty unique among Abercrombie characters, her relationship with Alex is adorable (and their breakup deeply sad), and her chronic inability to tell a joke cracks me up. I really hope she returns as a POV in The Heretics.

Vigga or Balthazar. Especially in audiobook form.

I'm always amazed when Pacey brings out another convincing women's voice. He's so good.

When I read the first Vigga chapter I thought she'd be my favorite, but she kinda lost steam for me. At the other hand in the beginning Balthazar for me was too similar to Morveer and didn't interest me too much, but by the end I loved his chapters the most. Loved that he gained deeper knowledge about magic and how he could use it and with what happened at the end of the book I'm looking forward to how his story unfolds the most.
As a side note I'm kinda looking forward to a POV of the baron. Potentionally, he could be very interesting.

I doubt the baron will get a POV, he knows too much. It would potentially give too much away. Similar to why Varys doesn't get a POV in ASOIAF.

Audiobook Balthazar can't be topped. The sheer disbelief and shock in his voice when the Duke Of Hell tells him he can't dispel the Papal Binding.
"YOU... CAN'T...DO IT??"

This is hard cause you know it's Balthazar by a large margin but every one of your favorite lines from the other characters flash through your mind.
It's like nut shells.

Balthazar is a joy to read. Such a fun character.
