Many hundreds of years ago,the city of Ember was created by the builders to contain everything needed for human survival. It worked... but now the storerooms are almost out of food, corruption is spreading throughout the city and worst of all-the lights are failing. Soon Ember could be engulfed by darkness...
But when two children,Lina and Doon discover fragments of an ancient parchment,they begin to wonder if there could be a way out of Ember. Can they decipher the words from long ago and find a new future for everyone?
The City of Ember has been around for 200 years(Not the book) Food is running out ,Blackouts are happening more often and Ember is falling apart. Lina and Doon discover a long lost scroll and they start looking for a way out of Ember.
I liked this book.not loved but liked. Lina and Doon were believable characters. The plot wasn't too far-fetched. It had some plot twists that I didn't see coming and I enjoyed this read.
The book started off slow paced but it picked speed up about chapter 6-7. It had some interesting chapters but a slow paced one always follows a interesting chapter.
I will be reading the sequel since I liked this book and I hope the sequel will improve on the areas that were bad.
3.5/5
