City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda
4.0

This is a really awesome book! Wow!! But, it does feel a bit 'too close to home' with the current pandemic, and the description of the plague gods is so well written, it's really, really gross! But that's a good thing too - I'm glad the author didn't pull any punches with the description. It's just unfortunate that we listened to it during dinner time!

Gilgamesh is an OLD story, and it was interesting to see the story come to life in this book. I liked the characters, the range of emotion and experience felt accurate to how a family may react. As I said, it's just unfortunate that the book is coming out right after we've experienced a year's worth of pandemic. I hope that people will give the book a chance, despite that fact.
