I think initially what sucked me in right away was it's setting and how it started with

her being kidnapped in order to be used for her ability

reminded me of Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare but that's where the similarity ends.

she goes from being kidnapped by one group to then immediately get kidnapped by another. I do appreciate how fiery she is, she doesn't cave and makes it clear that she's there to do good.

Knowing who published this I'm predicting that the characters are likely to get together at some point in the series but I appreciate the slow burn of that interaction.

after all she was just kidnapped by this guy a few days ago and I dislike those series where the girl immediately gets Stockholm syndrome and falls in love with the guy

right away she gets kidnapped, he co-captive shows physical signs of abuse. Later on there is a sword fight and there is some blood but not super graphic. There is also a history of being sold into slavery and being abused for one of the main characters
