Does she like romance? If so, tell her about that. (Though admittedly, if the hand thing struck her that much, the romance might take some getting used to...).
I think your best bet might be having her skip to KoA. It's my favorite book of the three. Gen doesn't spend as much time wallowing in self-pity/depression in it, and seeing Gen and Attolia together might make her like the romance more. And then if she likes KoA, reading QoA might be easier.
