Once a Hero by Elizabeth Moon
4.0
TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault.
i wish i’d had warning this book would be such a trigger. it’s written so well that things i have never experienced were traumatising me. and the subsequent therapy sessions in the book equally healed me.
a total departure from the Serranos. Lt. Suiza is the young woman whose story we follow and she is utterly charming. this book was extremely enjoyable for the great characters, inventive environment (a massive city sized repair ship). and exciting story. however there are two very violent scenes which not all readers may cope with. i found the book worth reading through despite the violent scenes because the book ends with some very good advice and therapy which is therapeutic to read. but i won’t re read this title. i just hope for more from Lt Esmay Suiza. i really like her. more than any of the previous characters.
