Once a Hero by Elizabeth Moon

4.0

Not only was this a well written space opera, but I really enjoyed Moon's portrayal of a main character facing deep seated issues. Throughout most of the book Esmay hides her problems, worried they will negatively affect her career. By the end of the book she seeks psychiatric help, help that is not just glossed over. Moon puts as much detail into the psychnannies as everything else in the book. I really appreciated a well thought out and generally realistic approach to the topic.
