The Jewel by Amy Ewing
5.0
I really loved this book. It is a cross between The Selection and the Hunger Games in my opinion. It is of course a dystopian novel, so if you don´t like this genre then don´t read it. As simple as that....
I don´t get why people are giving this book a bad review, as it is a very good dystopian novel, and it follows the "rules" in which these books typically inhabits.
People are complaining about the instalove, and that it does not make any sense. Well think about it, she haven't had any real contact with boys before, she is young, its not that weird that she falls in love quickly. I find that believable.
As for comparing it to the Handmaiden´s tale, that I do not get at ALL. They have a completely different writing style. Where as I had to drag myself through the Handmaiden´s tale for the first half (I have to finish the books I start), this went by soooo fast. The story is so much more captivating, sweeter and in my opinion logical to understand then the Handmaiden´s tale. Could not put it down. Looking so much forward for the sequel!
