'The City of Ember' by Jeanne DuPrau

The good

  • Cool setting
  • Fun mystery and exploration
  • Decent characters
  • Clear writing

The not so good

  • The reveal is fairly predictable
  • Simplistic, young-adult themes

Overall

Quick, entertaining read, without too much depth. I might be just curious enough to pick up the next book in the series.
