Am I the only one who actually loved the first book? It might be my favorite, really. I just like the simple, not-too-dramatic feel of it as compared to the rest of the series where it feels like there's never a point where I can stop and breathe. Even the chapters and chapters of just Sophie lying in a bed in Flashback it never seemed like there was a single scene where Sophie was either stressing about the Alicorns acting suspicious, or her crush on Fitz, or, of course, the Neverseen. It was a really nice introduction to the whole series in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Elvin traditions and all the colorful characters this series introduced. While the newer books are always (well, most of the time) very nicely action-packed and had you on the edge of your seat for a lot of it, it'll just never be the same as before when all it was about was a girl raised by humans being plunged into a strange new world, learning about it all as we do.
