kblincoln 's review for:
Theodosia and the Staff of Osiris
by R.L. LaFevers
Continuing the fun from the first book, Theodesia Throckmorton finds her father placed under suspicion when mummies from museums all over London persist on appearing in her parents' museum each night.
A powerful curse, the Chaos bad guys, and a new secret society join together to make Theodesia's life difficult (not to mention her formidable grandmother trying to find her a governess.)
Her pickpocket friend Will and her contact in the secret Brotherhood help Theodesia save the day.
While I find myself having to suspend my disbelief a little more than usual (really, Mr. Secret Agent dude, the most important weapon of destruction is better off in the hands of a little girl because she might be in danger if the bad guys ask her for it, really?) it is all good fun in this book. You still have the quirky little-girl voice of Theodesia, the lovely ignoring of her by her parents, the silly antics of her pickpocket friend and now some assistant curators at her parent's museum, as well as a satisfying conclusion.
This Book's Food Designation Rating: Pumpkin scones for the continuing buttery goodness of the satisfying story, characterization, and the iceing of learing more about Egyptian history and customs.
