Tamsin’s book is the one in this series that I was the most excited for. Her adventures were the most different from the first two girls in the previous books. We got to see more of Adoria because Tamsin sees more of it.
I liked Tamsin. She’s a fiery spirit and fights for what she believes is the right thing. She has to spend so much time standing up for the other girls. I really loved finally getting to figure out what her big secret was. And I am not afraid to admit that I definitely cried at Tamsin’s reunion with Mary.
I loved the relationships and the adventures that Tamsin found. She became a voice of reason in a world that is so full of hate for those that may be different. I thought it was really interesting that the scheming that we learned about in the first two books were tied even more together with this one.
I’m not sure what else to say about this book because so much of it could be considered a spoiler and I really loved this so I want others to read it without knowing what happens.
Overall, I loved the happily ever after. I loved getting to see more of Adoria and the people that live there. I really enjoyed finally getting to know Tamsin’s story.

The conclusion of The Glittering Court trilogy features Tamsin as she rises to the top of the Court of girls. But, as they travel to Adoria, Tamsin’s ship is lost at sea and she finds herself diverted from her goal of a rich husband and safety for her family.
When I read the first volume of this trilogy, Tamsin’s story intrigued me the least and her personality grated on me the most. But after reading this novel devoted to Tamsin’s story, my view of her has completely changed and I find I really, really liked her. I would not have minded being a fly on the wall as she conquered obstacle after obstacle.
Overall, the entire trilogy was entertaining. The narration of the second novel marred my initial starry-eyed love of it. But Tamsin’s story has erased my hesitations. I think that, if I had read the print of Midnight Jewel, I would not have had the same misgivings and probably would have enjoyed the story far more. It is proof of how important the narrator is when listening instead of reading print.
This trilogy was a remarkable tale of immigration, social class, and perseverance with a heavy dose of adventure.

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.

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.
