There are certain things in life we cannot control, especially things that are predetermined. The feeling of not having control over the happenings in your life can be exhausting and heartbreaking.

Upon the reception of his acceptance letter from Skylight University, despite having the deadly condition known as "ephebus mortem," translated as "youthful death," Jet Stroud sets out for Skylight City in the company of the only other person from his district who was granted admission, Curtis Jade, nicknamed Cutter. He was brought in on the search for a cure by Cord Ledbetter, a senior who suffered from the same disease. History has it that they never made it to age twenty-four. Their characteristic feature was the light that emanated from their eyes, and they were referred to as "euphs." He recruited other students of the school who had the same condition as he and Cord, Bo Blake and Vail Hart, as well as solicited the help of Professor Sylvant, the euph younger sister of the only other person who had scored the highest at the university's entrance examination, Solan Alexander and his friend Cutter. Together, they embark on the search for a cure until the powers that be start killing them off one by one, placing the friends on opposite sides: the Atrum and the Lucem. Where do each of the friends end up? Are they truly sick, or is there more to being euph than meets the eye? To find the answers, get a copy of The Prism Effect: Book One of the Skylight Series by J. Wint.

I was completely enthralled by the book's plot, which was both original and captivating. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, making it impossible to put down. The criteria or rationale behind which side of the table every one of the euph belonged to was predestined. They had no control over it. Jet's realization of that was painful. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he and his friends would be fighting on opposite sides.

Honestly, this is an addictive book, in a positive way. The themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the struggle for dominance in a world where the very essence of light can shape the course of history made reading it worthwhile. As quoted in the beginning pages of the book, Nikola Tesla once said: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." I think a perfect understanding of this quote will result in a better understanding of the book. I recommend the book to lovers of science fiction as well as lovers of the mystery and thriller genres. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because I disliked nothing about it. The book was also professionally edited.
