Review title: Bleh
Product review: Over the course of these books, Eddings has gotten more and more anti-feminist and more and more racist. One direct quote from the protagonist, was, "You have to be firm. [The Orb]'s like a dog or a horse, sometimes--or even a woman."I've become more and more agitated by Eddings' ability to bring up these strong, powerful female characters, then absolutely demolish them with a simple phrase. Polgara, an amazingly strong sorceress, becomes "one of the ladies" during fights and cannot bear to watch the fighting. Vella, a feisty little competent dagger-wielding slave girl is slowly turned into a "fine lady" and then has to be protected by her owner from men in a bar by putting on a collar and leash. It's like the reverse of normal books--he takes strong-willed woman and mercilessly subdues them.Two stars because the main villain is female. I haven't finished quite yet, so I'm sure she'll eventually fall due to her "frail femininity."Bleh.
