Why? Why is this book a thing? Why did this story need to be told? I don't understand the drive behind getting this story out into the world, and selling it as part of the Book of Ember series. I think it would have been ok as a…

This book was great, but I was a little scared. This book is very scary, expectdly what happens to the world in it. Recommanded for ages 10 and up.

To be very honest, this book was my least favourite of the four. It just didn't appeal to me in a way the original and second did. The story jumps back to the past where the start of Ember and why the city was created. The protagonist is…

Really disappointing. I felt this book detracts from the original and engaging heart of the series. It's the epitome of anti-climatic. Really worth skipping...you won't miss anything you can't glean from a quickie summary.

This is not a terrible book. While I do appreciate the thought of a prequel, the Prophet of Yonwood meanders a lot, so much so that when DuPrau finally connects the dots in the end, the anti-climactic finale feels very rushed instead of…

I haven't yet read this book but my friend who did read it said that it seems not related to the other books but this book tells about what happened before the city of ember.

the book was okay except it had no connection between the 1 and 2 and this book.

I like this series and read it a long time ago but this book really has nothing to do with the other books in the serie...Not really....

This is another great book by Jeanne DuPrau. This takes Nickie into a quiet town-seeminly eventless. There is much more to come, she learns. One of Nickie's neighbours, has a Phrophet. A vision. Of fire, and war. What will happen? Read to…

I really like the story, but don't you think it should have been the first book? But it is kind of cool that you know what is going to happen next.

This book didn't connect AT ALL to the first book untill the eploge. I liked the first one best.

This book was okay. The bad thing about it was that it had barely any ties to the other ember books until the last page.
