angelica87 's review for:
City of the Plague God
by Sarwat Chadda
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an eArc of this book.
“City of the Plague God” was what I spent the last two days reading. Perhaps it wasn’t the best thing to read during a pandemic, but also quite appropriate. It is the story about Sikander who suddenly finds himself in a war against Negal, the ancient Mesopotamian God of War and Pestilence as he tries to regain his immortality. With Ishtar, her daughter and some human and inhuman help, Sikander does what he can to save Manhattan from the Plague God.
I really liked this book. It fits brilliantly into the Rick Riordan imprint and it does an amazing job portraying Islam and ancient Mesopotamia in a very positive light... which is something that we need right now.
