How exciting is it to get a peek at the early years, before someone became famous and important?  Sky Hunter is just such a look into Nova Whiteside's life as a young pilot.  From a first blush of love, to biting betrayal in more than one quarter, amazing insight into her thought processes and actions, there is so much offered in this story.We already know she's a no holds barred heroine, courageous and yet all woman.  We get to see into Nova's past before the powers that be have learned to lean on her strength, and depend on her ingenuity.  We also see some major events (no, I'm not telling and ruining it for you), that shape the young woman into the bastion of courage and service she is today.  You'll cry, be furious, laugh, love, and even hate at times.  The dialogue reads true and immerses you into the author's world.This one put me through the emotional wringer and never let me out and was well worth my time.  I'm a huge fan of this series and bite my nails waiting for the next fix of this space opera.  Fair warning, there can be some emotional triggers for some folks, but they aren't used in anyway to glorify or condone the issues brought up.  On the contrary, they highlight some of the issues women face in society across the world today.  I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
