What an incredible way to end the series. I loved the new twists and turns and was especially tickled at the last couple of pages. (I desperately want to talk about it with someone!) Ease back in your seat and enjoy the ride!

I'm so glad that this concluding book in the series went back to Lina and Doon and the people of Ember and Sparks. The third book was interesting in its own way, but not really necessary in the telling of the main tale. I like the way Lina and Doon still find ways to sneak away and have adventures. Their journey back to Ember was exciting and legitimately seemed like a good idea. The danger they faced was real and not overdone which really helped everything come together nicely. A fine conclusion to this series!

This book had some promise but I think mostly squandered what could have been a very inspiring re-building of civilization story. It trades the first and second books slight suspension of disbelief requiring realism for pure utopianism. In new society that is created we will all use green energy! yay it's totally plausible. Also have a pony! Also Aliens! it totally ties in with that third book I swear! Was this all the authors fantasy of the world being destroyed but then being rebuilt totally more awesome plus a pony. I was also annoyed with the addition to the Ember construction that was clearly invented here and just felt tacked on, perhaps just so that the title could be The diamond of darkhold which I admit is rocking the alliteration. I would have much preferred no diamond, but rather something that was not such a dues ex machina. Also the there is a family named trogg that lives underground which meant I had to think about warcraft every time they were mentioned.

I wish the Ember series kept going after this. This was a satisfying conclusion to the story arc.

I liked this book more for it's place in the series than for the book itself. It felt like it had kind of run out of steam - like Ember. I still felt my first interest in this world and the characters return which is what made me enjoy the book.
