Machiko deals with a lot of sexism, delivered often in an over the top way but its still a major element as she tries to lead the humans to safety. And despite my annoyance at what I outlined in my first paragraph, there are things that feel remarkably progressive for a pulp novel from 1994. I don't read a lot of books that focus on action because i often struggle to understand what is even going on with the way a lot of fighting tends to be described, but its all very clear here. It goes down mostly how you expect, but its face paced and an easy read. Machiko is given a lot more depth as the book goes on, and particularly when she teams up with the lead Predator, Dachande, its a really fun read.
There's also a scene where someone tries to rape her and its mostly just shrugged off and forgotten later when they have to work together, which is weird.īut its still endearing. The main character Machiko is Japanese, and there is a lot of moments where she is a walking stereotype (she knows martial arts, cares a lot about honor, calls the Predators dragons and samurai, etc.), and the juxtaposition of her and Dachande thinking of honor a lot has the unfortunate implication that her being Japanese is why she understands him and Predator culture. There are some things in here that did not age well.
