The Overview: Violet is on the run. After the Duchess of the Lake catches Violet with Ash, the hired companion at the Palace of the Lake, Violet has no choice but to escape the Jewel or face certain death. So along with Ash and her best friend, Raven, Violet runs away from her unbearable life of servitude. But no one said leaving the Jewel would be easy. As they make their way through the circles of the Lone City, Regimentals track their every move, and the trio barely manages to make it out unscathed and into the safe haven they were promised—a mysterious house in the Farm. But there’s a rebellion brewing, and Violet has found herself in the middle of it. Alongside a new ally, Violet discovers her Auguries are much more powerful than she ever imagined. But is she strong enough to rise up against the Jewel and everything she has ever known?

The Jewel was one of my Top Ten Books of 2014, and I’m so freaking excited for the sequel I can hardly stand it. I have a weakness for this type of novel – girls in pretty dresses trying to survive in a semi-dystopic world (granted, this is a very specific type of book, but I’ve loved every one that I’ve read so far). The Jewel had a lot of elements that I loved about The Selection Trilogy, but explored the society and the world building a lot better in my opinion. It also had a unique love-interest, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was most looking forward to seeing where that goes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I will be off pining for this book until it comes out in October.
Is anybody else fangirling over this one is much as I am?
I love this cover and it totally made me want to read the first book. lol. Here’s my pick.

I haven’t read The Jewel yet but I’m definitely looking forward to it. I’m also a sucker for this kind of book. I don’t like this cover as much as the first one but it’s still pretty :)

I get that. Normally I’d be in the same boat, but I actually liked how atypical the relationship was. Even so, I bet it will get better.

Yay!! Most people who have commented today haven’t read the jewel, so I’m glad to see someone who loved it as much as I did!! Don’t worry, the cover just popped up for the first time only a few days ago. :)
