Title: Strong Female Character=Heroine on Par with Little Mermaid
Product review: [Spoiler in the text] I originally picked up this book because I wanted a new genre to try with my husband. Since the back cover implied a strong male and female character we thought it would be a good choice. The male chauvinist protagonist didn't bother me, it added some character. What angered me was the inability of the female character to actually win a fight. The big climatic battle scene has Del being pushed out of the ring for big strong warrior guy to save her because she is too dumb to realize the other warrior has picked up new tricks and adjust to them. But never fear, warrior guy is there despite the fact that he is supposedly in a poor physical state. If the reader is expecting a strong female character who is capable of taking care of herself, it would be nice if she actually won a fight, especially in the climatic battle scene.
