How did God protect Esther in the book of Esther?

A:The Book of Esther is not a religious book and does not even mention God. Biblical scholars regard it as a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, and historians say there never was either a Queen Vashti or a Queen Esther of Persia. We can therefore say that the book does not suggest that Esther relied on God for any assistance, and nor did she obtain divine assistance in history. Esther was able to overcome difficulties through her own talents, expressed in the book.
