Titles: The Jewel, The White Rose, The Black Key
Author: Amy Ewing
Rating: Top Shelf!!!!!!!
Amy Ewing's series the Jewel has an amazing new approach to dystopian YA!! The series follows Violet Lasting, a girl from the Marsh who's spent her whole life in training to be a surrogate for a royal family in the Jewel. After her auction day has passed she quickly learns about the lies and scandals within the Upper elites of society and learns she is in more danger than she ever imagined.
I have loved reading the series over the last three years. Now that all three books are out in stores in the series is complete everyone should go and pick up a copy now. Ewing's unexpected plot twists keep you engaged. You will never want to put the book down. The detailed character development makes you feel emotionally connected to the characters. You will laugh with them, you will cry with them.
Go and buy your copy of The Jewel, The White Rose, and The Black Key in stores now!!! You will not regret it one bit!!
If you have NOT read the whole series yet please do not read this next portion of my post. I would hate to spoil anything for you!!!!
ONLY CONTINUE IF YOU HAVE FINISHED THE SERIES!!!!!!!
I loved the Black Key!!!! I think it was my favorite out of the series!!!! There were so many twists and turns in the plot line!!! I loved to follow who knew about the other members of The Black Key!!!
There where a few BIG surprises that I really liked!!!!
- I was shocked that Violet and Ash both returned to the Jewel and made it out alive!!!! Amy Ewing: I am forever grateful you did not kill either one of them!!!!
- The deaths in this book where shocking as well!! When Lucien died I cried and cried!! It was also very sad to see Coral die because of how you felt sympathetic towards her. Other royals deaths were needed for closer for the book and so that Garnet could step up and lead how he believed he needed to for the hope of a better society!
- I couldn't believe that Cora wanted the Duchess to be killed and Carnelian ended up being the one to kill her. I understood her anger towards the Duchess but I didn't know she had it in her! I thought that was an amazing twist to the story!! I had assumed that Violet would be the one to kill her because no one else would and she was angry for her capturing Hazel.
