A Stranger to Command by Sherwood Smith

2.0

This prequel has no plot and is basically a nostalgia reprise for those who really, really love a military academy where prior books took place. It requires you to have enjoyed Court Duel to care about the characters and circumstances. There are so many intriguing hints about a much more interesting prior story but unfortunately that book seems to have been written by the author at age 15 and doesn’t have high reviews.
I love the Inda series, Wren, and Crown Duel but this book isn’t in the same league.
