Query: A waste of my weekend

I started off really liking this book because I thought it had interesting ideas. However, the book soon turned into a huge historical lecture with too many similar sounding names and events that I started to get confused and to not care. The worst of it for me is Rhapsody. I found the fact that Rhapsody became a perfect woman who lost her previous "soiled" state and who transformed into a beauty that causes all men to become blithering idiots totally degrading to women. By making Rhapsody unaware of her beauty and the power her beauty has over men, the author appeared to try to cover up how ridiculous all of this is. I'm just very tired of reading books that portrays all heroines to be skinny and beautiful. What is wrong with an imperfect woman, both in the physical and mental sense, that saves the day? I felt disappointed and angry that I wasted a good part of my weekend reading this horrible book.
