All three of them are bad in different ways. I would say that many individual female characters in Wheel of Time are pretty good characters by themselves, but when you look at the work as a whole the characterization trends are not so good. Eddings... honestly, I think all the characters have about the same half-inch depth (maybe an inch for Belgarath and Polgara) and the gender duality presented is bizarre and not at all compatible with my own view of the world, but not the worst I've seen. Goodkind... well. What can you say about Goodkind. I'd classify Eddings as clueless, Jordan as off, and Goodkind as off and malicious.

I'm not going to defend Jordan here (if you really want to see what I think, read pretty much any anon comment defending Jordan in the thread yesterday). But I do think that, whatever you want to say about Eddings and Jordan, Goodkind is just so much, so much worse than either of them. I mean, it's not just that he's malicious, he's just much worse about everything than either of them. It's like he's on a different scale.

I guess what I'm trying to get across here is that Goodkind is astoundingly bad, at everything.

I... actually have no place talking about Goodkind because I read half the first book fifteen years ago and remember practically nothing about it, but from everything I have heard you are correct.

I agree with your assessment of the writers. Eddings strikes me as the kind of antiquated misogynist, like someone's sexist grandpa who only likes pretty women, but only if they don't think too much. Jordan has a funky hang-up about men vs. women and how men are helpless thralls to anyone with a vagina. Goodkind is... pathological.
