Rick Riordan Presents: Fury of the Dragon Goddess

Praise

Praise for City of the Plague God:

“Featuring gods and goddesses, and importantly, Muslim heroes, this #OwnVoices tale eerily echoes our pandemic presents; but readers will find escape in the entertaining balance of an apocalyptic setting with irreverent humor.”–School Library Journal  

“An epic worthy of Gilgamesh. Chadda brings attention to the less well-recognized mythology of ancient Mesopotamia with engaging humor and wit.”–Kirkus Reviews

“The unusual characters, well-developed plot, and perfect balance of witty humor and rapid-fire adventure will keep even those entirely unfamiliar with the mythology or cultural and religious content fully engaged, with Chadda wisely trusting his readers to figure it out while on the run with Sik.”–Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Combining fast-paced action and heavy does of humor, this Gilgamesh-inspired novel benefits from a well-developed secondary cast. The touching exploration of adolescent grief, and the strong connections between Sik and his parents, provide additional nuance and depth.”–Publishers Weekly

“Sik has the trademark snark and humor of all heroes from Riordan’s imprint, which makes this venture into one of the world’s oldest mythologies more fun–and is especially appreciated given that this villain is a plague god making his literary debut during a pandemic.”--Booklist
