I had to DNF. The dialogue was cringe at best and the world building was lackluster.

DNF’d almost immediately, could not stomach the writing at all

Very few books manage to captivate me from the first page to the last, but this one did just that. It’s the debut novel in a promising new series. At the heart of the story is Roy, a charming six-year-old boy who instantly became a favorite of mine. In this world, Earth is no longer humanity's sole home. Because of Cosmo and his team, several other planets have been made suitable for human life, and it’s their job to determine who gets to live on each one.
Roy and his mother were assigned tickets to Mars, but Roy, being so young, didn't understand the importance of keeping his ticket safe. An opportunistic stranger saw his chance and secretly swapped his undesirable Pluto ticket with Roy’s prized Mars ticket. Unaware of the switch, Roy ends up on Pluto. He wakes up to find himself in a harsh, unfamiliar environment, separated from his mother. Terrified, he realizes he’s on a planet where survival is a daily struggle and people are hunted for food. However, Roy’s luck changes in unexpected ways. To find out how he navigates this dangerous new world and what fate has in store for him, you'll need to read the book.
If you're looking for a gripping sci-fi adventure that transports you to a richly imagined universe, this book is a must-read. It's the first novel by Lucas that I've had the pleasure of reading, and I’m eager to dive into more of his work.
The pacing of the story is spot-on, keeping you engaged from start to finish with never a dull moment. Lucas has a knack for hooking his readers, and this talent shines brightly in this book.

The Earth has become overpopulated, but it is no longer the only place humans call home. Depending on factors such as their income, career success, education, and convictions, individuals are assigned to different planets by Cosmo and his team. Each person receives a ticket to their designated planet, with strict instructions from Cosmo to protect it at all costs.
A young boy named Roy, only six years old, was given a ticket to Mars because his mother is a successful businesswoman. However, Roy wasn’t as careful with his ticket as he should have been. A man who was originally assigned a ticket to Pluto managed to swap his ticket with Roy’s. When it was time to board the ship to Mars, Roy was denied entry and forced into the line for Pluto. His mother was heartbroken.
Pluto was a harsh and unforgiving place. Roy quickly found himself in trouble but was fortunate to be rescued by a man named Sisel. Sisel took Roy under his wing and taught him how to help others in the harsh environment of Pluto. After Sisel’s death, Roy took on the responsibility of maintaining the safe haven that Sisel had built, becoming a beacon of hope for those on Pluto.
The author’s writing style is captivating, with a smooth and powerful narration that completely immersed me in the story. I was so absorbed that I momentarily forgot about the real world. I particularly loved Roy’s character and the creative concept of assigning people to different planets based on their backgrounds. The setting is well-crafted, adding depth to the story. I highly recommend this book to fellow readers.

The story is based on the premise where Earth has become inhabitable for humans to continue living as a result of overpopulation. Cosmo and his team were assigned with the duty to assign each individual to a different planet on the basis of different factors such as their income, education amongst a few i.e the value which they can deliver. The author Lucas DeAndreis has presented a concept of bifurcation of society on the basis of filters and presents a vivid picturisation of development of the world.
Roy, a six year old young boy, was assigned to go to Mars with his mother, Emma, although Emma believed that they were assigned Earth's Moon. Things take a turn when Roy's ticket gets swapped with a hunched man, and he ends up on the worst, dangerous planet Pluto. While Pluto is one of the hardest planets to survive, Roy's journey puts the reader in an emotional conundrum about his survival in such harsh conditions.
The story is so immersive that the way it is presented allows you to believe that everything is in a rush as the author presents that his mom was rumaging through clothes and certain valuables while stuffing the suitcases. The reference of Mortal God over Drecarth and Nightmare really made me admire the Author's writing. Eagerly waiting for the second part.

The whole theme of the story is that the Earth becomes inhabitable for human beings because of increased human population. Cosmo was supposed to allot humans to other planets depending on various factors like income and education etc., the worth which they can prove to have. Author Lucas DeAndreis bifurcates the society theory with sets of filters and paints a clear picture of world development.
It is six years to Rory, who has been told that he is going to Mars with his mother, Emma, while in Emma's perception, it is just assignment to the moon of Earth. The tables are turned as Roy's ticket is exchanged with that of a humped man and that leaves him on the nastiest, most treacherous planet Pluto. Yet, one of the most hostile planets to sustain in, Roy's train of thoughts leaves the reader in emotional havoc regarding what might be in store for this surviving prospect, in such an extremely antagonistic environment.
This narrative is so catchy; the far-off narration makes everything race pass in the ultra-quick like when the author draws that entire moment when his mother was rummaging clothes and some valuables into that suitcase. Mortal God as mentioned above Drecarth and Nightmare sat on the cake for me. Can't wait for the second series!

"Light of the Mortal God" tells the story of Roy, a young boy separated from his mother and mistakenly sent to the harsh dreadful Pluto. He survives for years, befriending a beast creature named Roary. Sesil is the lovely character who taught Roy how to survive on Pluto and offered him a staff which emits bright light and can be used as a weapon to fight.
Roy eventually escapes with two travelers from Venus and reaches Earth, only to be forced to journey to black holes and more new planets. Along the way, Roy faces terrifying challenges and heartbreaking losses, but also finds friendship and hope. The fate of the galaxy rests on the balance maintained by powerful demigods, including the keepers of life, health, decay, and darkness. But this balance is threatened by the villain Khaldüm, the keeper of death.
Roy's journey ends with a tough choice. He has to leave his friends behind and head out into space alone to try and save everyone. It's a cliffhanger ending that makes you excited for the next book! I hoped he'd have more time with Kaethe, but maybe that will happen later in the upcoming book.

Light of the Mortal God by Lucas DeAndreis completely blew me away! From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The concept of society splitting into different planets based on social class was fascinating, and the world-building was so vivid. I could picture every detail.

His struggle for survival on Pluto felt so real, and his unexpected friendship with the mysterious creature was heartwarming. I loved how Roy could see the good in him when no one else did—it added such depth to their bond.

As Earth became too populated and people were being sent to other planets, six-year-old Roy and his mother, named Emma, were slated to go to Mars.

To feed themselves, they must hunt down and kill living beasts or humans.

I was blown away by Lucas DeAndreis' Light of the Mortal God! I was immediately captivated by the first chapter The worldbuilding was incredibly vivid, and the idea of civilization dividing into many worlds according to socioeconomic status was intriguing. I was able to visualize every detail.
I was deeply moved by Roy's trip, particularly when he was torn from his mother. His unexpected bond with the enigmatic creature was endearing, and his struggle for existence on Pluto felt very real. I adored how Roy was able to notice his positive traits when no one else did; it strengthened their relationship so much.
There are many unexpected turns and poignant moments in this book. I was laughing one minute, and then I wanted to cry. With just the right amount of magic, it's the ideal blend of fantasy and science fiction. Despite its depth, the novel maintains its spirit of adventure. The next book in the series is already on my to-read list!
