Kyle Noland

Book Summary:
It’s the summer of 3129, one thousand years after meteors destroyed most of life on Earth. The city of Akhet endures in the barren desert landscape of what remains. Ethos, an artist living in poverty within the gilded city, renders commission work for the families of missing girls. When his best friend reveals she and the vanishing citizens are all witches, they discover the horrifying link between the disappearances and a godlike elite named Ra. Their investigation abruptly ends in the tragic death of a beloved friend, which forces Ethos into the lawless wasteland beyond the city after escaping with his life.

As Ethos traverses the desolate and dangerous outskirts, a fateful interaction leaves an alien ghost bound to his body and consciousness. They must work together if either is to survive and accomplish their conflicting, yet closely connected goal. After discovering powers forged in his bond with the ghost, Ethos vows vengeance against Ra and the rulers of Akhet, including Set, an android and self-proclaimed god. But an unseen threat stirs within the bowels of the Earth, one with an even greater thirst for revenge against Set. An ancient darkness more menacing than any god. With the fate of the world on the line, Ethos must choose between his revenge or salvaging what’s left of his crumbling humanity to fight the dark forces both outside and within him.

I am going to do my best to not have any spoilers in this review. I received this book through a giveaway that the author Kyle Noland did. The book is released November 20th of 2021 and I must say you should pre-order it now or pick it up as soon as it releases.
This is a highly engrossing roller coaster ride of emotions. Kyle Noland has great character development through this story. The world that he creates seems to be absolutely beautiful and highly intriguing. There is so much in this book I don't know how he was able to fit it all in there. There are quite a few twists, and plenty of ups and downs to the point that sometimes you might question whether you like him as an author because of the way that he just toys with your emotions.
The references throughout the look I found to be very fun and quite plentiful. You have pop culture references as well as plenty of references various historical figures and mythologies. Somehow combining it all together makes for a quite fantastical world that I want to read more of.
In My Opinion, I hope that this eventually becomes a screenplay and turns either into a short series or a series of movies because seeing this visually and staying true to the book would be incredible. As a book this is an incredibly intense read with plenty of world-building and character building that brings everything to the forefront of your imagination. I can't wait to read the next book.
I give this book 5 ghosts out of 5.
Until next time,

I was given an ARC copy of this book, and this is my honest review.

Wow this book was a great read. I love the mixing of Egyptian gods with the background of a desolate futuristic world. Who else has mixed witches with robots and gods? Very well written in a way that I could picture the action in my head, and also connect with the characters. This is very important for me in a book.

My only wish is that it wasn't so long. I tend to avoid the longer books. However given that I finished this book, shows how great it was. A great debut read, and I can't wait for the next instalment.… (más)
