I'm not really into sci-fi, but the university setting is attractive (I don't know why but boarding schools and colleges usually make for great books) and we can all be reminded of the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Great review.

This sounds like a very immersive sci-fi adventure. I appreciate the poignant themes of cooperation and friendship displayed among the characters as they navigate challenges posed by the Epebus Mortem condition. Thank you for the thorough review!

I'm not a fan of sci-fi novels, however, I'm curious to know if Jet and his friends finds solutions to their problems. Congrats on winning BOFTD.

This doesn't sound like your run-of-the-mill sci-fi novel, and for that, the author should be highly complimented. Looks like real good stuff!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction young adult story following Jet, a young man with neon-like eyes, as he adapts to his life in Skylight University and where he and his new friends attempt to discover the mysteries behind his unique characteristics. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

'Official Review: The Prism Effect' by J. Wint presents a thorough picture of the contents of the science fiction tale for readers. It helps the readers comprehend and assimilate the story. The point that the readers embark on a literary journey centered around a team's mission to discover the mystery behind a disease is worth mentioning in the review. It is noteworthy that the protagonist's journey emphasizes the significance of separating our current circumstances from our future aspirations. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the author's work shines through in teaching readers valuable life lessons, encompassing teamwork, cooperation, resilience, and the significance of genuine friendship was remarkable. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable to lovers of science fiction!

Thank you for the detailed and insighful review.

"The Prism Effect" by J. Wint. An interesting book, talks about Jet Stroud who got admission in to the university after being the best in his entrance examination but faced rejection, discrimination from both parents and society. Jet Stroud never gave up, he was so special and he teamed up with his friends to find the solution of how he was. Congrats on your #BOTD.

The idea of a Sci-Fi book having college student find the cure for a disease is quite intriguing. The Prism Effect" by J. Wint is book one of The Skylight Series. This book introduces us to the world of Skylight City. Life for Jet Stroud, our protagonist, has not been easy but he is going to find some true friends in college. This first book has over 800 pages and 23 chapters with a prologue and an epilogue, which will probably entice you to read book two in the series!

It must be a great read, reasonably better, for imbibing AI into the gamut of the Sci-Fi write-up. Worth a pick to see the spectrum that emits out of the review.

Does it have anything to do with X-men? In any case, the story seems intriguing with mystery and sci-fi elements. Not to forget, the go-to theme these days, AI. I will add it to my list.
