A review by comicsandcoffee
The Jewel by Amy Ewing

2.0

What is an interesting premise gets bogged down by insta-love and a main character who is too whiny to really be liked.

Positives: It's easy to read, Ewing's world is vividly described, and for fans of The Selection or Hunger Games (but without the violence) it's a good readalike.

Cons: Oh boy that insta-love is so extensive I think I felt my eyeballs rolling out of my head. And the blushing. Girl blushes and flushes and reddens SO much.
