this may not have much to do with the other books but it does help explain how the city of ember was started. I wish this were the first book

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about war and its relationship to religion. How can misunderstanding and differences in belief lead to fighting? Could someone like Mrs. Beeson really gain power this way?

Exciting Prequel to Ember
I wasn't at all annoyed by the fact it had nothing to do with the series. It was a great prequel!

Huh? What did this have to do with the series?!?!?!
ARG!!!! I was incredibly annoyed by the fact that this book has absolutely nothing to do with the first two books. NOTHING! If the author wanted to write some sort of pre-apocalyptic novel, she should have done so after she wrapped up everything about the people from Ember. The entire time I was reading, I kept waiting for something to be about Ember. It was also poorly written compared to the first two, and was a rotten way to end a promising trilogy.

A dull, disappointing conclusion(?) to the Ember books
Many fans of this series of books probably cried after finishing this book. No, it is not because of an emotional ending or something like that, but it would have been for this sad excuse for a good book. The book, hmm..., how can i put this nicely?, stunk. I can't even begin to tell you how lame the opening was. This book has absolutely no connection to the other two. P.S. The second book, The People of Sparks, if the best book of the series by far.
