The Crocodile Tomb

February 1, 2016

Gr 5-6-Hylas and Pirra are nearing the end of their journey to Egypt in the quest for the Dagger of Koronas, the only weapon against the mythic order of The Crows. Little do they know, Telamon has almost reached Egypt as well and he wants the dagger for different purposes. Now the race is on to see who will reach the dagger first and come out on top. Paver does a great job at integrating Egyptian myths seamlessly into the story and making it accessible to those who may not be familiar with them. The latest entry in the Gods and Warriors series is an exciting read for those who have read the other books. Even though there is a bit of background of the last three novels included in the prologue, new readers may find themselves confused at times. Fans of Paver's previous series as well as the three installments of this series will definitely want to pick this up.
