Midnight Jewel

By: Richelle Mead

Narrated by: Kyla Garcia

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

The Selection meets Reign in this dazzling trilogy of interwoven novels about three girls on a quest for freedom and true love from #1 internationally bestselling author Richelle Mead.

Mira is not like the other Glittering Court girls. She is a war refugee, cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where she has learned to fight against the many injustices around her. For some, the Glittering Court offers a chance at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira, it’s simply a means to an end. In the new world, she plans to earn off her marriage contract price, and finally be free.

Mira pitches herself as an asset to one of the passengers on board the ship: the sardonic and aloof Grant Elliot, whom she’s discovered is a spy for the prestigious McGraw Agency—and her ticket to buying her freedom. His cover blown, Grant has little choice but to take her on. Mira applies herself by day, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity. By night, she dons a mask and slips into the city, fighting injustice and corruption on her own terms—and impressing Grant with her extraordinary abilities and insights into a brewing rebellion. But the rebellion isn’t all they’re fighting…

Neither of them can ignore the attraction burning between them—an attraction so powerful, it threatens to unravel everything Mira’s worked so hard for. With freedom finally within her grasp, can Mira risk it all for love?

Critic reviews

"[F]eminist elements and Mira’s obvious intelligence, courage, and capabilities will have young women rooting for her and eagerly awaiting the next title." —Booklist

Jeweltastic

Enjoyed immensely, loved it being told by another character who had been a real mystery to me.

very enjoyable adventure

i didn't think i could like this one as much as the glittering court, however I liked it more. great read and can't wait for the next. the narrator does an excellent job

Loved

Can't wait for the next in the series. Richelle Mead hasn't disappointed me yet in her stories.

Not my normal type of books but loved them

I don't usually do romance story lines but really enjoyed this series. Loved having the same story told from three points if view. Would love if we could get a short novel letting us know how the next year of their lives played out and if the glidering court still went on or if other adventures where a result of the mess of events that happened here.

I can't wait for the 3rd!!

I just finished listening to both the first Glittering Court and Midnight Jewel in less than 10 days. I couldn't stop listening, they were both fantastic. I love how the two stories intertwine and you see different perspectives. I'm dying to know what is in Tansin's letters - I'm assuming we will find out in book 3. I'm a relatively new Richelle Mead fan but her character development and imagination is unmatchable!! At times it's almost hard to believe it's fiction vs history. 5 stars!!!
