williamsalley 's review for:
City of the Plague God
by Sarwat Chadda
Myths, a plague god, goddess, zombies and a hero who is constantly proving that labeling a person based on their outward appearance and religion is a mistake. When I heard about this book I was excited to read it, especially since it is part of the Rick Riordan Presents series. The book starts off introducing us to the main character, Sik, a thirteen year old trying to help his family as he deals with the loss of his brother Mo. The excitement begins when he meets Belet and they start an interesting adventure that dives into the myths of Mesopotamia and how a Plague god can wreak havoc on a whole city and the world. The answer to help fight against such an evil force takes our heroes to the underworld, a fight with a giant and a hunt for the cure. Certain parts of the book were a bit dark, the character Daoud plays a part in comic relief but does very little to lighten the mood. Overall, this book is interesting and worth a read if you have enjoyed previous books from this series.
