Book Recommendation... missing!

In the midst of working on deadlines, I snuck in a few hours to read Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund. (The cover and blurb for it, by the way, are horrible representations of what's actually inside the book. They look like they're trying to appeal to the dark fantasy crowd -- when really, it's a science fiction story primarily of friendship and parental relationships. I'd also say it's like a boarding school novel in space, with really appealing main characters who have Issues that they have to confront -- together -- which may explain why I enjoyed it so much.)

Based on the cover, I couldn't figure out where I'd heard of it or why I'd put it on hold from the library, but once I started reading, I realized that the style reminded me very much of Sherwood Smith's (sartorias) in Crown Duel. Thus I *assume* someone on livejournal recommended it. Anybody want to take credit?

I really enjoyed it, and pass along the recommendation, whoever I got it from!

Now, back to more galley proofing...

Whoa! I meant to get something of Anne's--met her at Sirens, and she is awesome. Will have to try this.

That sounds like something I would like. I'm making a note of it, thanks!
