In the back of King of Attolia? Yes, of course, a few years ago when I first read the books--I do have the KoA paperback! Sorry, I should clarify--when I say Eddis only gets little bits and pieces here and there, I was referring to the full novels, not the short stories. In the full books, Gen, Attolia, and Sounis get substantial amounts of time in their POV, and Eddis very little. We only see her POV when the narrator is third person omniscient and spends a sentence or two saying what she thinks--but those moments are rare and small. Even with the inclusion of the short stories, she's always been a little bit mysterious, which is ironic, as the reader virtually gets to "be" Eddis in Conspiracy of Kings (we are the ones Sophos is telling the story to, and he is telling the story to Eddis).
I guess my points are: 1) Gen, Attolia, and Sophos got books, Eddis gets short stories; and 2)Because we've seen a lot less of Eddis' mind compared to the other characters, she's much more mysterious.
Although now that I've written all that, I realize that Eddis is pretty much a fully formed adult, which might make a difficult main character for a young adult novel (although MWT did pull it off with Attolia magnificently)
