Review: Promising but not great

I like a lot about this book: the heroine, the energy creatures and the military school setting. The story moves with a good pace and I like the first person narrative. However, for some reason the author does not stick with this approach but brings in other third person narratives. Also, the story sort of runs away with the author, as the main characters (all young cadets) suddenly are doing everything on their own. The grown-up supporting characters are somewhat cardboard-like and the story lost a lot of its grit towards the end. So, a promising attempt but not a book I will remember.
