About this listen

Violet Lasting is no longer a human being. Tomorrow she becomes Lot 197, auctioned to the highest royal bidder in the jewel of the Lone City. Tomorrow she becomes the surrogate of the House of the Lake, her sole purpose to produce a healthy heir for the duchess, imprisoned in the opulent cage of the palace, where the royal women compete to secure their bloodline and the surrogates are treated as disposable commodities…

The Jewel is The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Other Boleyn Girl, an intriguing dystopia for teen and young adult listeners.©2014 Amy Ewing (P)2015 W F Howes Ltd

My favorite audiobook so far

To date, this is my favorite audiobook. It is all due to the tremendous narration by Laura Kirman. Her ability to use different tones to depict each character helped to bring the book alive in my mind. I only hope to find another book as well written and narrated. I look forward to a sequel!

Thoroughly enjoyed

Was hoping to drag this book out until my next Audible credit but failed miserably- I couldn't stop listening! Great narrator and gripping story.

Great listen

I loved listening to this audiobook. Ms. Ewing is a fantastic author and I will definitely be looking for more of her books. I also enjoyed Ms. Kirman's narration. She did a fantastic job bringing the story to life.

Very good!

What a cliffhanger! Like the Handmaids Tale, but a modern telling of. Very very good, worth the listen, and the narrator is pleasing to the ear.

ZZZZZZ

This book can be summed up in three words - tedious, boring and irritating. It bored me to tears, I actually struggled just to stay awake. The narration was okay but not brilliant. I really have nothing good to say about this book so I'm not going to say anymore.
