Title: disappointing
Product review: The story of Esther is one of the most exciting tales in Bible. If you can get past the archaic format, you can see the makings of an amazing and passoinate epic: an orhpan girl, taken against her will into the king's harem, rises up despite the odds to become a queen and her people's savior. Esther could have been smart and cunning, or a heart-warming anti-heroine, or a dozen other distinct characters. Instead, she's just boring. Khon takes the ancient text and rewrites it in modern language, adding some filling, but nothing new or fresh. The characters are one dimensional and the narrative is flawed.All in all a very disappointing retelling of a tale with a lot of potential.
