Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In a starred review, PW characterized this "action-packed romp" as "a breathtaking blend of Saturday matinee cliffhanger and Viennese light opera." It features characters from Pullman's popular Sally Lockhart trilogy, The Ruby in the Smoke, Shadow in the North and The Tiger in the Well, all of which are being simultaneously reissued in paperback. Ages 10-up.

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up-A complex tale of romance, intrigue, and adventure. Adelaide, Mrs. Holland's maid, vanished towards the end of The Ruby in the Smoke (Knopf, 1987). Now, 10 years later, in 1882, detective Jim Taylor tracks her down. Beautiful, tough, and illiterate, 22-year-old Adelaide has secretly married Prince Rudolf of Razkavia. When his brother is shot, the couple travels to that tiny European country. Jim accompanies them, as does Becky Winter, 16, Adelaide's tutor and interpreter. In rapid succession the old king dies, Rudolf is crowned and assassinated, and Adelaide becomes queen. Surprisingly, she's remarkably good at the job. She's not without enemies, though, and Becky and Jim have their hands full as they try to stay one step ahead of the schemers. Pullman writes fluently and descriptively, and his wealth of detail brings the period alive. The unexpected twists and turns will grip readers and make it difficult to set the novel down. At times, the large cast and numerous subplots needlessly complicate matters, and the introductory list of names and family tree are more a distraction than a help. Pullman's habit of shifting perspective (from Becky to Jim to assorted others) can also be annoying. Still, this book stands above most YA novels of its type due to its richness, its fascinating characters, and its story that, while sometimes far-fetched, is firmly rooted in reality.

This review is from: Tin Princess (School & Library Binding)

First of all, id like to say that this book did NOT have too many details. If you want details read Lord of the Rings. Anyways, i couldn't believe Jim could fall for Adelaide, she was just a snobby brat most of the time! Becky was the best, and I liked the university students. One major thing that disappointed me was that Sally wasn't in it enough, two parts, thats it! Overall, it was a good book, but hes had better ones.

This review is from: Tin Princess (School & Library Binding)

Having read all three of the original Sally Lockhart novels, I was thrilled to find a sequel of sorts on the shelves of my local bookshop. Pullman takes a brave shot at writing a traditional swashbuckling adventure story, and succeeds wonderfully on many (though not all) levels.

The basic plot is thus: Adelaide Bevan, the penniless waif of The Ruby In The Smoke, has resurfaced after having gone missing for ten years. And she appears with a bang: she's married to a European prince of a small country called Razkavia. The problem? Adelaide is illiterate and has no idea how to be a princess, someone is assassinating the royal family of Razkavia one by one, and the great European powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary are itching to take over the tiny country at a moment's notice. It's left to Jim Taylor (the roguish friend of Sally Lockhart from the previous novels) and new character Becky Winter to try and keep everyone safe whilst trying to prop up the future of Razkavia and its people.

Implausible maybe, but Pullman infuses a nice feeling of reality into the proceedings with plenty of historical reference and accuracy. The story isn't perfect: Pullman's love of detail and an excess of rich and varied characters clutter it up, and the plot has more twists than a plate of spaghetti, but the overall story is so delightful, adventurous and well-written that this can be easily overlooked.

Pullman's real strength lies in his brilliant characterisation for his three or four main characters and the interaction between them. Adelaide and Becky are appealing, likeable and strong heroines, the Germans and a number of Razkavians make wonderful villains, but the star of the book is undoubtedly the delightfully clever, crafty, courageous and somewhat dangerous Jim Taylor, who steps into the limelight in place of Sally Lockhart and never gives it back.

This book is definitely worth a read if you're a Sally Lockhart fan - it's interesting to see how the characters from the original trilogy develop away from the London backdrop. Even if you're not a fan, read it - it's brilliant escapism, excellently written and well worth wading through the detail for.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Hard Book to Put Down, Avril 9 2002

Par Un client

This book has an exciting plot! I was pulled into it right away. There is always something new and thrilling happening. It's a really enjoyable book.
As soon as Adelaide arrives in her new country, strange and amazing things begin to happen. The group must try to untangle the web of secrecy and betrayal inside the royal circle. The one-person Adelaide believes she can trust turns out to be plotting against her. She must find a way to out smart him and keep the thrown.
This book is very similar to the other books by Philip Pullman, especially the ones in his Sally Lockhart trilogy. There are many of the same characters in this book. Like all the books in the trilogy, this book has a person struggling to overcome a problem.
