Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-23 00:00:00 Mikefrazee Frazee I could have used more of Theodosia's cat Isis, but it was still good! I had to get the cat comment out there first, ya'll know me:-) If not, Hello. I'm a self-confessed Crazy Cat Lady. In this third installment, Theodosia is back in her usual situation-embroiled in curses and artifacts. She meets the great magician Awi Bubu, coinciding with her discovery of an Emerald Tablet. This tablet is purported to turn metal into gold, which is obviously desirable. However, there are more reasons this is hunted by various groups. At first I wasn't sure I'd love this one quite as much as the others. Luckily I ended up being just as delighted as I was with the first two. The strengths I found in this book were the sweet, always developing friendship between Theo and Will, the clever chapter titles, and learning more about beloved characters. Themes of loyalty- and also misconceptions that can arise when we make snap judgements about people- were underlying most of Theodosia's interactions. I love seeing this character grow, and the book is setting up nicely for continued action in book four-Theodosia and the Last Pharaoh. I haven't heard any details on the 5th book release, but crossing my fingers it's sooner rather than later. I'm greatly attached to the spunky Theo and her adventures in The Museum of Antiquities and Legends, and I'd recommend this series to just about any reader. They are heartfelt and funny- with enjoyable magic, spells, and bits and bobs on Egyptian Gods/Goddesses and artifacts.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-17 00:00:00 John Lloyd Being able to detect black magic isn't all tea and crumpets'and for Theodosia Throckmorton, it can be a decidedly tricky business! When Sticky Will drags Theo to a magic show featuring the Great Awi Bubu, she quickly senses there is more to the magician than he lets on, setting in motion a chain of events she never could have bargained for. Meanwhile, back at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities, Henry is home for the spring holidays and makes an accidental discovery of an artifact that alchemists have been hunting for centuries. Soon, every black-cloaked occultist in London is trying to get their hands on it . . . I choose to read this series because of my love of all things Ancient Egyptian. This series does not disappoint. Full of intrigue and magic, Theo has another adventure that starts with a magic show and ends with the stage set for her to take a trip to Egypt. Theo is a wonderful character for young girls to read about. She is independent and smart, and loves intrigue. Her work with her parents in their museum adds great flavor to the book. There was a twist at the end that I didn't see coming, and it made me laugh. This is a smart and fun addition to the series.
