A review by gayathiri_rajendran
City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda
4.0
City of the Plague God follows Sikander Aziz,a thirteen year old who goes into battle to save New York from a new form of infestation and plague. This book comes under the Riordan Imprint and is based on Mesopotamian mythology. I didn’t know much about this and I enjoyed this book thoroughly getting to know various tales.
The word building is great and there is never a dull moment in the story. I enjoyed the humour sprinkled throughout the story and the supporting characters Belet and Daoud added much flavour to the story.
There are a lot of unanswered questions in this book and we got to know only three Gods. I’d love to see a second book in this series which fleshes out the pantheon of Gods in a more detailed manner. A fun and refreshing middle grade read for all mythology lovers out there!
