good character development and plot, really enjoyed the balance of world building and the action. there were a few things i didn’t love as much, some points could have been more developed such as the disease. but overall it was a good read

I listened to an audio version of book one before I read The skylight Fallout. I don’t think I would have been able to understand this story without that. I was a little let down by the start of this book; many if the main characters seemed to be missing, and the story at that point for me was slow and didn’t fit in. A few chapters in the story came back to the original pace, setting and characters and from that point onwards gave me an entertaining read. However, in this second so many people are aware of what’s going on that I just felt it would be impossible for the secrecy, which is inherent in the story, to be maintained. So for that reason 3 stars.

Definitely an interesting sci-gj story. I read it as a stand alone and still enjoyed it. (I look forward to reading the first also!) This book follows the journey of a unique group as they try to protect and save the citizens of Skylight. They have multiple adverse groups to contend with and an unknown villain mastermind. The beginning was slow for me but I’m glad I kept reading!

An immersive story with a very complex and detailed world/magic system. This is great for fans of a tight, plot-driven story and characters who are very focused on it. The writing style is great and easy to read, the dialogue is tight and doesn't feel awkward, and the world-building is where this story really shines. My main gripe is I'm personally not a fan of stories with a lot of lore and slightly less character focus (as well as a lot of POVs) but this one still did a great job. I do recommend readers start with the first book (which I did not) as the author is expecting you to know and understand everything that happened previously.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this book.

This had more action and more science than the previous book, which was fun! LOTS of new questions though- I felt like more new questions developed than were answered in this one. I still enjoyed it though, and will keep my eye out for more.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from net galley. When initially downloaded the book. I didn't realize it was the 2nd book in the series. So the initial few chapters were getting a feeling of the characters and understanding the storyline. I didn't factor this into my rating.i will at some stage go back to book1 .I highly recommend to anyone starting the series to start from book 1.now thatmayserm obvious to some. But there are people that don't always read the books in order. I actually enjoyed the fantasy side of the book more than the science side.i liked all the characters and the overall storyline.

The Skylight Fallout is Book 2 in The Skylight Series by J Wint. Book 2 begins several years after book 1. Jet is tasked with leading his group to discover Albright's Code the key to find the Heliohraphi Memoir before the Century Eclipse. Jet is still fighting the Atrum or Dark. I think this series is a SiFi/fantasy/thriller with murder and intense fabulous characters. There is so much action and sad to say, some good characters die. I think the Skylight Fallout ushers in fighting and a lot of chaos. I believe that The Skylight Fallout is a wonderful sequel that leaves me wanting book 3 to see what happens next! I would love to add this book to my Local Library.
