The main character is just a damsel in distress. Maybe that's what the author was going for? I don't know. There's nothing to her. You wouldn't even know that she exists in the novel's world because she doesn't seem to know anything about it.
The love interests are bland and boring, especially Hal. There's far too much focus on the moral grayness of each.
Also, all of the "twists" were glaringly obvious.

How is this rated so highly? The writing is straight-up bad. Every time the main character has flashbacks to the Academy's lessons...cringe. It's like the author opened a thesaurus to brainstorm new adjectives: "the Academy lessons chased me into the steam" or "the lecture from the Academy slithered in," followed by a flashback in italics.
