I loved this book!!!! This was definitely my favorite of the series. I really liked Tamsin and her no nonsense attitude. She was definitely a woman after my own heart. She loved her daughter and never forgot about making sure she needed a good life. In fact it's the main reason she and the main interest didn't work out. I also loved that he came out of left field, and he was not the person I was anticipating to be the main love interest. I love that Tamsin made it all happen and that she gets 'everything done'. Beautiful! I only wish there had been more follow up for what happened to the 3 girls after the immediate conclusions. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The highest of four stars!
I utterly fell in love with Tamsin's story, and Jago Robinson has my heart. This was a long read, but it flew by; there was a bit nearer the end that dragged a little but mostly it was probably me trying to get in as much reading as possible before I went to bed. It's been a few years since I last touched this series but I was so quickly drawn back into the world of The Glittering Court, which is truly a testament to Richelle Mead's storytelling prowess. For once, I marvelled at the execution of the love triangle instead of seeing it as an abberation.

I loved the first book in this series but both book two and three was a let down for me for some weird reason.

I have no idea what to even label this book.
I have some mixed feelings on this series (Adelaide and her book are atrocious, but Mira and Tamisin are much more interesting characters). What I will say, is Richelle Mead can really write characters. They're always so full developed that I find myself cheering them on.
Mead's stories on the other hand... have really gone downhill after the Vampire Academy series.

Three and a half stars -- would've been four if it wasn't for how necessarily long the book was. Tamsin was always my favorite of the three characters so I'd been looking forward to this one for awhile, and I'd say I was definitely not disappointed.

I know that Tamsyn is a favorite but I was never really sure how much I liked her. I thought she was rash and blew things out of proportion, but I never expected to like her as much as I did. As with the other two books I listened to the audio. There was a point though where I had the physical book and I wanted to know the resolutions to the town situation and I actually read like half the book.
Tamsyn's story picks up right before the competition for ranking at the glittering court. She and Adelaide have their disagreement and Tamsyn ends up on the other boat. This is where is got interesting. Tamsyn is with a cast of unfamiliar characters and they are a breath of fresh air. As they get shipped wrecked and meet the Icori ( who are like Irish or Scottish, totally didn't pick that up in the other two books). Tamsyn actually emerges as a leader and a good one. I really adored her by the end. I think Jago is a good fit and I liked her possible ambassador for working things out.
I think that this might be my favorite of the three books. Although I would really like an epilouge for a couple years down the road.
I also would still kill for a map.
