I thought this was an interesting fantasy read. Often the main characters in these books tend to grow up in harsh situations that make them the main character and whilst Auren had a rough upbringing for the last 10 years of her life she has been shield away from reality in her golden cage. This makes her both out of touch from the world outside the castle and socially awkward, which was refreshing to see. 
Watching the world through her eyes you get to see as she slowly starts to be reintroduced to the world and reality outside the castle.
Whilst there isn't any major character development I think the work has been laid for her to explore the world more and grow as a character in the others books. I cannot wait to see where she finds herself in the next book and what she will learn.
