I love the Prism Effects cover. It's colourful and attention grabbing. The book also has a great storyline that's perfect for readers who enjoy sci-fi novels with elements of mystery. I'm curious to know what causes Jet's eyes to illuminate the way they do. Congrats on making botd!

Latest Review: Why Did Buffy's Fur Go Flat? by Erin Hill and Dr. Russ Hill

This is an intriguing sci-fi book that underscores the importance of working as a team in solving a problem, and we can see that in the case of Jet Stroud, who works as a team alongside his colleagues in university to solve a particular problem they both have in common. I love how the book characters are well-developed. Nice review.

This is really an interesting story. I am just curious to know the cause of Jet's neon-like eyes, and how far, or possibly what level, he can manage his difficult days at his home country with his emerging self-awareness.

I agree with the reviewer about the importance of page numbers, but that aside, the review does an excellent job highlighting the interconnected mysteries in the book. It's intriguing to think about how they all tie together.

Coming just a few years after the COVID pandemic, though it’s a fictional account, I like the storyline touching on some mysterious epidemic. COVID taught me nothing is far from reality. Thanks for the review.

Impressive that such a voluminous book is error-free! Sci Fi it may be, but your review reveals that it deals with real-life issues around stigmatisation and bullying. Most of all, it tells us that nobody Is ever alone however lonely they may feel.

This story is about the protagonist and his unique characteristic of having Epebus Mortem, a condition where the eyes are glowing. When he entered a special academy, he met other people who are similar to him. Together, they solved various mysteries throughout the book. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Latest Review: Stage Fright by John Gore

Post by Precious Anavheoba »

The cover of the book made me think it was just another dystopian novel displaying some far-fetched or high imagination. Reading the review changed that impression and I think the book is more valuable for its lessons.

"Jet's journey underscores the significance of separating our current circumstances from our future aspirations." This speaks to me personally.

Life lessons and the themes of friendship, camaraderie, teamwork are right up my list of things to look out for in a book. Following Jet Stroud sounds like a great adventure.
