Eddings women always let the men do the fighting and the only heroic couples Eddings can imagine are male-female. The best thing about the novels is the way Flewelling questions the assumptions about gender and sexuality that bedevil so much high fantasy. This can be enjoyable or wearing, depending on the listener. From Eddings, she takes a very slow approach to the narrative, making sure that each plodding day of travel is described.
In book 2, you'll find an apothecary's apprentice named Durnik and in book 3, you'll find a person named Geran. She even scatters character names from his novels throughout her work as a tribute to him. Lynn Flewelling's work clearly owes a great debt to the work of David Eddings.
