Re: David Eddings' major female characters

It appears that Eddings has "balanced" his characters. None of his main female characters are "plain" or heaven forbid, ugly. In fact they are quite the reverse. So that the men don't get distracted by obvious eye candy, he has given them a "look but don't touch" attitude and made them strong and intelligent - moreso than the male characters would ever have.
