Fantasy. Romance. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:The final installment in Richelle Mead's sweeping, enthralling Glittering Court series answers the trilogy's biggest question: what is the secret that drives Tamsin to win at all costs?
Tamsin Wright is unstoppable. She must become the Glittering Court's diamond: the girl with the highest test scores, the most glamorous wardrobe, and the greatest opportunities to match with an elite suitor in the New World. Training alongside other girls in the Glittering Court, Tamsin immerses herself completely in lessons about etiquette, history, and music??everything a high-society wife would need to know. Once she's married, she'll be able to afford a better life for her family, so the sacrifice is worth it if she can be the best.
When her friendship with Mira and Adelaide, her roommates at the Glittering Court, threatens her status as the top-ranked prospect, she does the only thing she knows will keep her on track: she cuts them out of her life. But when her voyage across the sea goes off course, Tamsin must use her unrelenting grit and determination to survive the harsh winter far north of her intended destination in hopes of making it back to the Glittering Court in time to secure a proposal??and a comfortable future for her family.
Experiencing new cultures and beliefs for the first time, Tamsin realizes that her careful studies haven't prepared her for everything, and with new alliances formed with roguish tradesman Jago Robinson and good-natured minister Gideon Stewart, Tamsin's heart begins to be pulled in different directions. But she can't let her brewing attraction get in the way of her ultimate goal: protecting the secret she holds closest to her heart, the one that would unravel everything she's worked for if it's unco

A masterful conclusion to an enthralling series. ( )

The Emerald Sea
The Glittering Court, Book 3

I Picked Up This Book Because: I am a fan of the TV Series

The Characters:

Tamsin Wright:
Jacob “Jago” Robinson:
Mira, Adelaide, Orla, Half a dozen other characters whose names I can’t remember

The Story:

The conclusion of a whirlwind of a tale of three young ladies chosen to give up their common lives and trained to become wives of wealthy gentlemen in a new land. Tamsin, the third in the trilogy, goes through enough to have lived 6 lives. Starting with her keeping a huge secret from the girls in the court and a shipwreck and taking her through an unbelievable series of events.

This is an excellent story of adventure in a strange land and wraps up with a happy ending.

The Random Thoughts:

This is probably the worst book in the series writing wise but has the best story of them all. The problem with writing in the same universe and the same timeline but different points of views is that things get repetitive. After The Glittering Court and Midnight Jewel, we really don’t need to repeat the time spent to turn Adelaide, Mira, and Tamzin into proper ladies or the journey to Cape Triumph. But background was key to understanding each character.

Tamzin has a deep dark secret that could have gotten her cut from the glittering court. At 16 she fell in love with a boy and had a daughter. Years later the boy is no longer around, the girl is 4 years old and Tamzin doesn’t want to pretend she’s a little sister. That’s why she’s so set on marrying a rich man with influence so that no one would look down upon her and her family ever again. Upon her split with the girls she studied with after the storm at sea, Tamzin became a leader to a group of girls and got things done.
Tamzin is a young woman with a desire to help people. She found friends in unexpected people and reawakened feelings she thought were no longer possible. As with any other human being, she had her selfish moments but they were never at the expense of others. In fact, she sacrificed her comfort for others multiple times. It was heartbreaking reading all Tamzin had to do to get ahead in life. Even though Mira remains my favorite of the three, Tamzin’s resilience was my favorite.

I think I’ve complained about this before but when I read Glittering Court I got the sense that Adelaide was super snooty and off-putting. With each book in this series, I feel like I should go back and reread that book because both Mira and Tamzin see her as this sweet and selfless soul that I never saw. That probably won’t happen. These girls were supposed best friends but honestly, they are the lowest maintenance friendship I’ve ever read about and I’m surprised how closely they bonded over…nothing? ( )

This final book of the Glittering Court trilogy follows Tamsin's adventures. Her adventures are concurrent with the events of the first two books which are each focused on one of Tamsin's best friends.

Tamsin is the daughter of a laborer and a laundress. Being accepted into the Glittering Court has given her the opportunity to find a husband in the New World at the colony at Cape Triumph. She is determined to be the best at her studies so that she will have the best chance of finding the perfect husband. When Adelaide manages to top her score and leaves her in fourth place, Tamsin is very disappointed and angry at Adelaide.

Rather than travel on the same ship as the rest of the girls from her training center, she switches places to the other ship. She didn't think she could stand to be so close to Adelaide for the time of the trip. However, when a major storm blows up, the two ships are separated and Tamsin finds herself shipwrecked far from Cape Triumph. They are discovered by a party of Balanquans and Icori who offer, for a fee, to take them to their people.

Tamsin, who has become the leader of the girls from the Glittering Court, finds herself and the other girls in a town called Constancy which is an Ofridian town but settled by a group similar to the Puritans in their religion.

The people there are willing to send the girls on to Cape Triumph but it won't be for a number of months. Winter is not yet over and the danger of blizzards is high. Tamsin meets a junior minister there who is named Gideon Stewart and she incurs the jealousy of Dinah Cole who runs her father's house where four of the girls are living while they wait to travel on. Dinah has decided that Gideon would make a good husband and Tamsin is too much of a threat.

Meanwhile, Tamsin is looking for a faster way to Cape Triumph and is directed to a trader named Jago Robinson. The leader of the Icori had recommended him. When she finds him, he is very reluctant to give up his place an an earlier river trip to Cape Triumph. Jago is someone unlike anyone Tamsin has met. They fall in love with each other but Tamsin isn't willing to give up her goal of finding a rich husband in Cape Triumph. Her future and the future of her daughter depend on her finding a wealthy man.

Tamsin, with and without Jago, have a variety of adventures before and after they get to Cape Triumph. Someone is orchestrating events to increase tensions between the Balanquans and Icori and the Ofridians and Tamsin finds herself in the middle of it.

This was a great finale to the series. I liked the way Tamsin found her strengths and secured a happy future for her daughter and herself. This was a nicely complex story with great worldbuilding. ( )
