I read this series when I was young and fantasy was shittier, and it got enough into my head that I still reread the whole series every 5 to 10 years, but I spend the entire time nowadays yelling "OH MY GOD THE SEXISM" and "OH MY GOD THE RACE ESSENTIALISM" and "OH MY GOD THESE PEOPLE ARE BAD PARENTS."
It tells you everything you need to know that David Eddings' books were almost all co-authored by his wife Leigh, starting in the early 1970s, but she didn't get any kind of credit for that until 1996. Not just "didn't get her name on the books until 1996," but "David didn't tell anyone his wife was his co-author until 10 years before she died of old age."
