I didn't really like the Oedipal undertones to them all. How they were so very mothering. Because tee hee men are all secretly little boys who need mommy to guide them and wipe their noses and smile as they run out to play and think they're in charge.

Most of the named female characters were either A Childlike Nature Spirit. Or Mommy. And the men tended to fall in love with the Mommy ones. And Ce'Nedra growing up from Childlike Nature Spirit to Manipulating Mommy with Polgara's help and just....

I enjoy the books! I enjoy the heck out of them! But the whole mothering thing got weird.

I also have issues with the fact that oh hey, we have a male thief, dee dee dee, oh hay! A female thief! And we have a paladin. A few chapters later, female paladin! A male hopscotch champion accountant... oh hey! Lets introduce a female hopscotch champion accountant! I wonder who they're going to end up with by the end? I liked that there were slightly different characters, but.... I wish they'd mixed and matched.
