 Maybe he's a bit misguided on how the Academy works, but he's on the right track with Sang and her harem. It's disgusting how they handle her and the series is passing it off as romantic. 
 Sang is still an idiot. Drop of Doubt tries hard to push Sang's undiscovered genius, but most of it is either common sense or so stupid and passed off as brilliant. All the guys are treating her like a girlfriend and she thinks they're all just being friends. They put an idea in her head and back off, then she initiates it because she's curious. It's how they get around Blackbourne's rules. Silas forces her to make out with him through her fingers like she did with North a book or so ago. Someone (I forget who) touches her below the navel, a little too close to her sex, and she gets so turned on. Apparently that's "friendship". 
 The guys: 
 -Gabriel is a whiny bitch near the end to create drama. He pings my gaydar way harder than a certain someone does in The Scarab Beetle, so I can't take his love and want for Sang seriously. 
 -Victor is shown as doing "smart stuff" that seems made up to appear smart. 
 -Mr. Blackbourne is a teenager trying to play dress up, and he's pretending to be an adult. He's nineteen. Every time it's mentioned how he's acting vice principal, I roll my eyes and snort. He's written like he's thirty, but made nineteen so that he can screw Sang when the series goes into New Adult territory. All of the guys are like that, adult men in teenage bodies. (Sang is written like a six year old.) 
 -Dr. Green. His medical license is his name written in crayon on a piece of paper that a toddler scribbled on. What a joke. That imaginary license should be revoked for the crap he pulled this book. 
 This series is starting to reek of gynophobia. Other than Karen (who I think Stone confirmed to be a lesbian in love with Sang), all women are treated as the enemy, the obstacle between Sang and her happily ever after with her nine brother husbands. First Mommy Dearest, then Marie, then Danielle, then Jade, and now Muriel. The polygamy is even justified by the guys saying all girlfriends would get jealous and the other Academy girls aren't good enough for them. Sometimes I think we're dipping down a little too hard into misogyny in this series and its sister series, The Scarab Beetle. 
 Speaking of, Kayli's brother Wil makes an appearance, and so does Marc. Hooray crossovers? 
 I don't have a problem with the polygamy. What I have a problem with is how it's being handled. A socially inept girl being coaxed into it because she doesn't know any better is disgusting and awful. I want to read about a woman who willingly engages in a relationship with multiple guys, knows what she's doing, is confident, and not a doormat. I should have received that in The Scarab Beetle, but, well, we know how that turned out. 
 Really, I only continue reading this series because it's quick, easy, and I want to know what other stupid situations Sang gets herself into while acting clueless.
