I started this re-read in preparation of reading the 4th book in this series and I enjoyed it a lot more than I remembered.  I think the amount of trauma and triggers might have taken me off guard the first time making it harder to stomach at parts.  It may have been because I knew what was coming that I was able to enjoy it more this time.  
I understand why some readers say this book feels unnecessary and uneventful, that the series could easily have begun with book 2 but I really enjoy the world building here and do think it’s important to setup events that come later in the series.  I also think it’s important that we’re able to see Auren’s perseverance and strength in such difficult circumstances.
