The answer
Agree. The Hebrew Esther — the form in Protestant Bibles — tells its whole story of a queen saving her people without naming God once. Catholic and Orthodox Bibles include the Greek Additions to Esther, which do address God directly, and which appear to have been added because ancient readers noticed the silence. The Song of Songs is nearly the same case, a love poem that never turns to God directly.
Why it’s interesting
Esther's silence about God was one reason its place in the canon was debated for a long time. The absence is so pointed that many readers see it as deliberate artistry rather than oversight.
