It is identified as a debut book in Genevieve Cogman's author blurb, and the task says "Read a debut book by an author. (Note: It will be REQUIRED that this is book #1 in a series since it will be the author's first stand-alone book.)" I understood that to mean that it's #1 by default.
However, to make things easier, I've swapped it for a different book and reposted the two tasks.
Trisha - the book still had to be listed as a series on Goodreads in order for it to count

Just FYI, no need to repost. MMP Sense & Sensibility @ 346 pages it works
If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
>If there are multiple editions in a format:
From the editions page (click all editions on the main book page)
Set the Format, beginning with Mass Market Paperback
Set the Sort By as "num ratings"
Use the top edition result to determine the page number for ebooks and audiobooks
If there are no editions in MMPB, reset with Paperback and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no paperback editions, reset with Hardcover and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no print editions the ebook or audiobook may not be used for a task requiring a page number
If the sort results in a Large Type edition at the top omit that book and move to the next record or format.
