Review Detail

What I Loved:

The Jewel had good pacing and even better anticipation, and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It's a light read and I sped through pretty fast and none of the characters irritated me too much. This might have something to do with the fact that books that explore a Reproductive Dystopian world fasciate me.

What Left Me Wanting More:

I didn't really love the romance because it is on the "quick" side of things, but somehow that did not seem to bother me much. One thing you might want to consider is that this book does have a terrible cliffhanger. It's the worst. I know I'll end up reading book two just for that alone. I only hope that book two either expounds on the romance or gets rid of it completely.

Overall:

This is a great read for younger teens that most will enjoy. It has excitement, romance and a great plot. The Jewel is a promising start to new series.
