About this listen
Violet Lasting is no longer a human being. Tomorrow she becomes Lot 197, auctioned to the highest royal bidder in the jewel of the Lone City. Tomorrow she becomes the surrogate of the House of the Lake, her sole purpose to produce a healthy heir for the duchess, imprisoned in the opulent cage of the palace, where the royal women compete to secure their bloodline and the surrogates are treated as disposable commodities…
The Jewel is The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Other Boleyn Girl, an intriguing dystopia for teen and young adult listeners.©2014 Amy Ewing (P)2014 W.F. Howes LtdThe Jewel

It kept me engaged and the narrator did really well especially with the different voices as they were quite distinct.
Now, I'm a sucker for dystopian, flawed systems with mystery and rebellions which is problably the part that kept me reading. The plot was way more interesting than the romance side of it. It came across as puppy love to me and happened very quickly although. I wasn't attached to the relationship. BUT I like both characters individually. I don't know about the overall character development as it's quite fast paced and central to Violet. I'm guessing that will deepend in the next books but most of the characters come across as 1 dimensional to me.
Overall I recommend!
