And with this book brings the end of the Theodosia Throckmorton series to an end (for now). It was such a fun, adventurous, mystical book series and I am so glad I read it! This one is just as good as the other ones. The writing is still fantastic and Theo is still a very fun character to go on adventures with. My only complaint was that she made a lot of foolish mistakes throughout this adventure that I felt she didn't make in the previous books. However, those "mistakes" did not deter from my enjoyment of the book.

 

As I've said before, if you love action, adventure, and having fun whilst perusing ancient Egyptian tombs than I recommend this entire series for you! You're going to enjoy it~

Theodosia and the Last Pharaoh (Theodosi... This is the fourth book in R.L. LaFevers' Theodosia Throckmorton series and currently the last in the series, though there is some indication that a fifth book may be on the horizon. These books rely heavily on each other and should be read in the order in which they were published.

This book takes the series to somewhat of a closure but simultaneously opens several new lines of questions that will hopefully bring about several additional books or possibly prequels.

It is a well-written series that deserves more attention from the author.

Interested in Egyptian history and mythology? This is a great series of books for a lover of all things Egyptian. Theodosia is a special little girl who can see ancient curses and feel the mysticism around her. Sounds like fun, right? Poor Theo spends her days in her parents ancient Egyptian museum where her mother, the Egyptologist, and her curator father work, and at times, live. She has dedicated her life to nullifying those curse before they can harm her family and friends. Sometimes this is quite humorous, other times, not so much. She has a group of crazed fans who think she is the reincarnation of a goddess, a secret society watching her every move, a street urchin pick=pocket friend, and an irksome bother of a little brother who comes home from boarding school at the wrong times. Interesting facts, the author did the footwork, and fun watching Theo get out of her predicaments, especially with her very proper English grandmother.

Another enjoyable installment in LaFever's Theodosia Throckmorton series, this time taking place in Egypt and with a cast of mostly new characters. It was good, but I did feel like it dragged in places and could have been tightened up a bit more.

I liked the revelations about how Theo is connected to Egyptian magic, how the Wedjadeen and Keepers are connected, and especially seeing Theo come to accept her magic as part of her and coming to terms with who she is and telling her parents. I am interested to see how the series will end.
