Once a Hero (The Serrano Legacy, #4)Once a Hero by Elizabeth Moon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The "Serrano" bit is a bit stretched in this book. Sure, it's a glance-off from the third book's events and it has a pretty heavy hint that this poor fish-out-of-water hero will MARRY into the Serrano family (thanks to her gumption and heroism), but I can't help but see this as rather a fundamentally DIFFERENT novel from the others.

I didn't hate it, however. If I hadn't expected a continuation of the core Serrano from the first three, I probably wouldn't have had a single gripe.

Either way, these are all fluffy space opera competence-porns designed to make you feel good. In that respect, it works just fine. Space military can-do attitude!


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

Trouble on Paradise by Craig Alanson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Honestly? It was an okay mil-SF from the PoV of those left behind on Paradis...
