![]() ![]() It was fun seeing words (like cuneiform) I haven’t seen since 9th grade World History (and I’m 53, so it’s been a while!). ![]() I love learning about the Mesopotamian gods and goddesses, and the Muslim culture. What I liked: the writing reminds me a lot of the original Percy Jackson series (my all-time favorite series). Once he gets over his shock that the gods and goddesses of the stories he grew up with are real, he teams up with Belet, the adopted daughter of the goddess Ishtar, and Gilgamesh (yes, that Gilgamesh) to find the flower of immortality before the bad guys destroy his city. ![]() Then one day, he is attacked by Nergal, a Mesopotamian god, who believes Sik has the secret to eternal life. Sik is a 13-year-old Iraqi kid who just wants to help his parents in the family deli. I’ve read several of the Rick Riordan presents books and this one is my favorite so far. ![]()
