While the plot of this book sounds intriguing and on a subject that I am interested in, I don't think that I would read it due to the hefty page count. Thanks for your wonderful, in-depth review.

This book seems like an exciting read! I'm really curious about Jet's story and the mysteries surrounding his condition. His unique neon-like illuminated eyes add a layer of intrigue to the narrative. I'm definitely adding this to my bookshelf. Congratulations on BOTD!

The Prism Effect is one of a kind, an epitome of dystopian sci-fi writing. A roller-coaster read from a new world in the sky, to college sports in a sci-fi context like never before to a mysterious illness stealing the lives of students. From the opening scene I was hooked. I had to find out what happened, each character was unique, got most love for Jet. Descriptive writing that helps you picture the mysterious and complex campus and guides you through events that seem more dangerous and deadly as the story goes on. But by the end you will better understand what is happening to these people living with a strange affliction that separates them from their peers. Will definitely get the next book to see what happens next, as this book is deeper than I expected.

The best part of the storyline is that you really never know what is going on. I was really impressed with the writing and how unique the whole plot was. Will definitely continue reading this book to see what happens to Jet and his new life.

I would rate this review of "The Prism Effect" by J. Wint as a well-structured and thoughtful assessment of the book. The reviewer effectively highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of the book, providing valuable insights for potential readers.

The review commends the book for its ability to convey important life lessons such as teamwork, cooperation, resilience, and the value of genuine friendship through the narrative of the characters. This acknowledgment of the book's thematic depth adds depth to the review itself and helps potential readers understand what they can gain from reading it.

The reviewer also points out some areas for improvement, such as the absence of page numbers and the potential for a more concise presentation of the mysteries in the story. These critiques are constructive and provide constructive feedback for both the author and future readers.

In summary, the review is fair, balanced, and informative. It not only rates the book with a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars but also provides a strong recommendation for those who appreciate science fiction and enjoy stories centered around mystery-solving missions. Overall, it's a well-written and engaging review that effectively conveys the strengths and weaknesses of "The Prism Effect."

"The Prism Effect" by J.Wint first in the series The skylight is a science fiction or you can say futuristic book. After reading the sample chapters, it kept me hooked and I can't wait to read more. Good job for making the review on point and insightful.

I was drawn to Skylight Series thanks to the space university scenario. Yes, I admit to love all those magic academy, schools for super gifted and alike plots. Yet, for me, it was something new to find students sent into the Earth’s orbit, still storyline didn't disappoint in the slightest, it touched some serious topics without losing intrigue and holding interest till the end. Hope for more books and congratulate on BOTD!

Being rejected by one's parents is really tough. Neon-like illumination eyes sounds fascinating, but it's a pity that it's a symptom of a disease. Thank you for the great review.
