When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical? But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore - free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to best-selling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, a.k.a. He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

One of the best books I've listened to

Publisher's Summary
The Selection meets Reign in this dazzling trilogy of interwoven novels about three girls on a quest for freedom and true love from number-one internationally best-selling author Richelle Mead.
In the second installment of the number-one New York Times best-selling Glittering Court series, Richelle Mead goes beyond the glitz and glamour, delving into the dark, political underbelly of their world through the eyes of one girl who dares to fight for her freedom.
A refugee of war, Mira was cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where the conditions were inhospitable at best. In a life-altering twist of fate, she is given the chance to escape once more, and she takes it, joining the Glittering Court.
For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they've only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira it means further persecution, not only from her fellow Glittering Court jewels but from her suitors as well - men she would potentially be expected to give her life to.
By day she goes through the motions, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity, even making a couple true friends in the process, the forthright ladies' maid Adelaide and the ambitious laundress Tamsin. But by night Mira hatches a different plan entirely - one that, if exposed, could get her hanged in the highest court of Adoria.
Midnight Jewel is the extraordinary story of a girl with few options who courageously forges a new path, finding love, passion, lifelong friendships, and maybe even a way to freedom.
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)

Not Richelle Mead's best...
I have never been more disappointed in a Richelle Mead book. I am typically a huge Mead fan but this book was a drag..I kept waiting for it to get better but then it was over. I'm not sure I'm into the whole same story different perspective thing b/c for me this book was just not that great. It might have been the narrator but honestly she wasn't bad so I don't think so. if your looking for a great Mead book try her Dark Swan series.

An Okay Sequel
I didn’t enjoy this story as much as I did the first one. There were times it was hard to really get into it I just had to struggle and learned just to finish it. I did like the character of Grant, and I didn’t mind the protagonist in the story but her life got boring at times. I’m not sure why I felt this way because it was very action-packed. Maybe it was just how Kyla read the story?
I will say that it it was nice to see the point of view from one of the other members of the glittering court. In the first book you find that she’s sneaking out at night but do not know the reason for it. You discover it in this book.

Awkward Writing, Awkward Narration
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Die hard Richelle Mead fans.
What do you think your next listen will be?
A romance novel.
How could the performance have been better?
If the narrator could keep her accents consistent and better performed. The protagonist has an accent in the book, and the narrator made her sound like five different nationalities within five minutes. It was, frankly, horrible.
What character would you cut from Midnight Jewel?
Tom the Pirate. What a weird side-plot, and her dealings with Tom made me dislike Mira, the protagonist, quite a bit.
Any additional comments?
The book was a disappointment, and the narrator did it absolutely no favors. I regret buying this audiobook.

Great Part 2
Most trilogies do a good job because the author usually has a clear concept from beginning to end and a purpose behind each book in a triology. So far, this trilogy fits that description. I like that each book follows the view of one of the 3 main characters within the same setting. Things that weren't a big deal to one girl is a massive issue for another. There is not a lot of rehashing which is nice and keeps the stories from being redundant and boring, but enough so you know where the story falls in alignment with the other time lines. I am really excited to read the final book as each story builds with intensity, plot twists and turns.

Perfect gem!!!
I am a huge fan of the Vampire Academy series, but Glittering Court replaced it as my Richelle's Mead favorite! All three books were perfect! I am so happy I discovered this gem. The only thing is that I read the three books in probably a week, because I couldn't stop myself.
The characters were very well written, not the typical cookie-cutter one-dimensional ones that we often see in YA books. The books had such a wide-span adventure, history, nature, unpredictable twists, and turns, great dialogs, struggles, humor and wins. The main heroines were strong, relatable, and human. Each had her own strength and character development. Same with the male interests - each so different from each other, not typically cookie-cutter tall-dark-and-handsome (with the instant sizzling attraction) and a perfect fit for the main heroine! Plus the wide array of interesting supporting characters with each deserving their own story told!

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.

why the alternative geography
really like these books but I'm not sure why the alternative geography was necessary. its basically a historical novel of settlers in early america. i guess that would have required more historical research for accuracy but its confusing trying to keep track of the different nationalities etc.
