Title: What Hero?
Product review: Very little happens in this long "story". It's a long dissertation about a woman named Esmay who is supposed to be a hero and a leader. Apart from the author, who can regard her as a hero? Esmay behaves as a very ordinary and plain woman. Nevertheless, her superior officers keep claiming she's a born leader... How can they be so dumb to think so? In fact, we quickly note her superior officers are even dumber than Esmay.I think EM completely missed the point. Her claimed heroine is colorless and insipid. How can anyone be interested in Esmay? A leader does behave differently from others. A leader acts, doesn't wait for things to occur, submits oneself, or simply yields. What a difference with the Miles Vorkosikan series by Bujold! Miles IS a born leader whereas Esmay is just a pale imitation.In a nutshell, a mundane and tedious book, very hard to finish.
