A review by jaimie_lynn
S.E.T. The Earth on Fire by Kyle Noland
5.0
4.5⭐
First I need to point out how much I love the drawn pictures of the characters in the beginning! I really don't see that ever (unless they are on the cover) and it really helped to picture them the way Noland did. It was such a cool feature!! And of course, I love any books with maps so you have a better understanding of the world and places they are in.
This is a mix of dystopian and fantasy and I'm such a big fan of those genres as a whole so I was ultimately stoked for this book! You've got it all, man. Gods, humans, witches, robots, etc!
There are a lot of characters you follow and I'm normally not a fan of that but somehow it worked for this book. It could have a lot to do with HOW he did it. You have Ethos and Aargo as the two main characters and you mostly follow them but with others sprinkled in. It was actually nice knowing what was going on with others and I don't think the book would have turned out as well if we didn't.
Ethos is a gay character and admittedly I don't read a lot of stories with gay characters. Not because I don't want to but mainly because they don't happen to be in a book I pick up (mostly thriller reader here). I loved him! I'm specifically pointing him out for those looking for books with an LGBTQ+ member in them.
