I really enjoyed this book, but I'm unsure how the next few books will play out.  I am into sci-fi.  Historical fiction?  Not at all.  It seems like the sci-fi is being used just to make the HF more interesting, and I am not sure if it'll succeed.  I loved the suspense of this book, and I'm also very curious to see how they'll manage to keep that up.  I hope that this series functions as a cohesive series rather than each book being sort of a historical fiction standalone.  The explanation for time travel at the end of the book was predictably messy and confusing, but again, this is only book one and I am cautiously excited to see how everything plays out.

The Prophet of Yonwood

The Prophet of Yonwood written by Jeanne DuPrau First of all, I still don't understand why this is called "the third book of Ember" when it is clearly not the third. I was so confused about what was happening, where Lina and Doon were, until I read the back cover and found out it was a prequel. That is not the sort of information I should be getting off the back cover, that is something that should be made evident upon starting the book. For a children's book, there is an overload of social commentary, and I'm pretty sure the entire ideas would just fly over their heads, and I thought People of Sparks was bad in that regard! Hah! Regardless of whether or not I agree with her views, this is entirely too preachy. It proved very difficult to get into the plot, the characters were not well-developed, it was very slow paced, with not much action at all. I think I may possibly have only liked one page of this entire novel--the last one. How ridiculous. Don...
