kaladry 's review for:
City of the Plague God
by Sarwat Chadda
4.5/5
This was a really fun middle grade book about Islamic Mythology. If you love the Percy Jackson books then you will love this one too. The writing style is very similar and it’s just a fun adventure book with a 13 year old main character running into the ancient Mesopotamian gods.
It’s really refreshing to see some much needed representation in a book. Hopefully kids reading this will gain some empathy for a culture that is so often despised for no good reason. Thank you to the author for being brave enough to give us this gem and to Rick Riordan for publishing it through his imprint. I can’t wait to read the sequel!
