First of all, I want to clear something up: this is not a Sally Lockhart book. While Sally is a side character, and it references past adventures, Sally is little more than referenced in passing. She's there at the very beginning and the very end of the book, but she's not by any means a significant character in The Tin Princess.Now, I will get to my actual review of The Tin Princess itself. I wasn't prepared to love The Tin Princess. Somehow, I expected it to be either a medieval or a fakeProbably my favourite of the SL quartet which seems horribly disloyal to Sally as she hardly features (and I mean at all). The characters, setting and plot were absorbing and I enjoyed the ambiguity of the ending.
Somehow I'm even more sad than I was when I finished the final Harry Potter book. This series is so, so, so, so made of awesome. And I can't help but love it. And adore it.Never mind that I really don't get what Mr Pullman is trying to do at the end of The Tin Princess.

Pacing myself by reading one book a month, I am glad to have kept on top of this set of books. Whilst they have not totally led on from one another, I have enjoyed keeping the story fresh in my head. This final book follows the same vein as its predecessors and I think Pullman was right not to continue the series.For my full review, visit me at:
Not positive if I wanted to give a 4 or a 5 here. Enjoyed this, regretting only that there seem 25-odd years later to be no plans for a #5.
Lost count of how many times I've read this, but I haven't added it to GR before. I absolutely love this book. It's so vivid, and tragic, and the two girls at the centre are wonderful. This is an absolute comfort read for me.
"The Tin Princess" features characters from the other books in this series (Sally Lockhart), but is only a slightly-connected story. It's the somewhat-familiar story of an English girl, Adelaide, of no breeding but innate intelligence and wit, who marries the exotic prince of a small European country. Seeking a job, the young Becky Winter is hired to be Adelaide's tutor, and soon finds herself helping Adelaide negotiate a maze of dangerous politics and social situations, and he unexpectedly
