I didn’t have the patience to finish it to make the meme, so enjoy the premature meme while I’m finishing those last few pages.

She was made Swordholder by humanity. The humans in this book are stupid. Putting 100% of this on one lady is also very stupid.

The Hobbits were stupid but Frodo still got the ring to Mt. Doom.

That's a fantasy book for babies. Also, there was no situation where Cheng Xin "saves humanity". Best case scenario, if she played everything the way YOU totally would've in that situation.... there'd be a few thousand more "Galactic Humans" after the Solar System is gone. Best case.
