The book picks up right after the events of Jigsaw of Light , with teenage protagonist Zeb Ross now back in Cornwall but quickly swept into another quest involving ancient crystals, Atlantean tech, and global mystery. From remote islands in the Pacific to secret underwater civilizations, Zeb and his companions, Kaia and her father Professor Garcia, travel through wormholes using a mystical surfboard as they try to unlock the secrets of a long-lost civilization and prevent another catastrophic planetary reset. I really enjoyed the way this book blended myth with modern storytelling. It's like Atlantis met Indiana Jones , but with teenage leads and a strong environmental thread running through it. The author writes with cinematic flair. Scenes leap off the page with vivid imagery, especially underwater or during high-stakes encounters. And while the plot leans heavily into fantasy and sci-fi territory, there's a core of emotional realism that grounds it all. Zeb's inner conflict, his loss, his drive to find purpose, it all felt honest, even with glowing surfboards and time-twisting wormholes involved. Balance of Light is a thrilling and heartfelt adventure that delves deep into myth, memory, and meaning. It's for readers who like their fiction fast, vivid, and unafraid to ask big questions about humanity's place on the planet. If you've got a love for the ocean, ancient mysteries, or stories where young people carry the fate of the world on their shoulders, then this book is worth the dive." - Literary Titan Balance of Light by JC Button is the thrilling sequel to Jigsaw of Light in The Book of Light series, and it truly takes you on a ride. It mixes fantasy, science, and history in a creative, fresh way. Reading it felt like watching an exciting movie play out in my head. The pacing is quick, and there's always something happening. One minute they're racing across the ocean, the next they're crawling through ancient ruins filled with hidden traps and near-death escapes. But the story isn't just action-packed. There's depth too. Zeb is such a relatable character. He's kind, thoughtful, and still trying to figure out who he is in the middle of all the chaos around him. I really appreciated how grounded he felt, even when things were wildly fantastical. His bond with Kaia felt genuine. She's strong, loyal, and quick-thinking, the kind of partner who keeps the group moving forward. I also enjoyed Professor Garcia's presence. He added warmth and wisdom at just the right moments and balanced out the youthful energy of Zeb and Kaia. What really stood out was Zeb's internal conflict. Even as he faces these wild challenges, he's still a teenager who misses his father and struggles with big questions about his place in the world. The author did a great job showing that complexity without making it heavy-handed. I absolutely loved the idea of the magical surfboard. It brought something original to the story and opened opportunities for exciting, fast-moving scenes across beautiful and mysterious settings. From remote islands to underwater cities, the visuals came alive in my head. The world-building was rich without being overwhelming, and I could clearly imagine every twist in the journey. I also liked how the fast-paced action didn't take away from the smaller, emotional moments. The story gave enough breathing space for reflection and character development, which made it even more engaging. This book isn't just about thrill and suspense. At its heart, it's about balance, between people and nature, between power and peace, and within ourselves. The Watchers of Light believe the world must remain in balance to avoid destruction. Zeb gradually begins to understand that the real danger isn't just external, it's also within. The tension between control and harmony plays a huge role in his growth, and that made the story feel emotionally grounded. There's also a subtle message about legacy, connection, and how we deal with grief. Even when surrounded by love, Zeb still feels the absence of his father. That longing stays with him and influences how he navigates this new chapter of his life. I found those moments very moving. There's no doubt that Balance of L
