How does the setting affect what is happening in this book?

The setting in King of the Wind, affects what is happening in my book because it really helps me out with picturing the setting. The setting in the book is way back in the day when they used horses to travel. The author really decides the setting and how she decides it helps with the plot of the story. The setting really affects what is happening in the story because when Agba and Sham travel it talks about what they have to go through to get to the next place.
