5.0 out of 5 stars A YA novel that any fantasy fan would enjoy, 25 Sep 2008
By M. Brinkley "Maggie the old trout" (Hoddesdon, Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Stranger to Command (Hardcover)
Vidanric, Marquis of Shevraeth, is a major character in Sherwood Smith's wonderful 'Crown Duel' duology. However, you don't have to read that to enjoy this excellent book.

Shevraeth is sent away to the warrior nation of Marloven Hess partly to get him out of the reach of the sinister king of his native land; and partly so that he can learn the methods of war that the Marlovan barbarians practise so well. To his astonishment he discovers friendship as well as new abilities of leadership.

This book is very dear to me. The description of Shevraeth's homesickness, and the way he got over it, reminded me of when I went away to boarding school. This is much more realistic than Harry Potter.

Shevraeth begins as a quiet boy whose knowledge of everything that he thinks he knows, even the courtier's skills of horseriding and swordsmanship, seems useless. He puts aside his previous life and learns how to fight - and how to resist the unpleasant king back home.

I have been reading fantasy for 40 years, and this is one of the most refreshing books I have read in a long time.
