A review by sarahanne8382
The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne DuPrau
3.0
The final book in DuPau's series about the inhabitants of the city of Ember provides a satisfying resolution and even manages to connect the seemingly inconsequential The Prophet of Yonwood, although still in a rather tangential way. Winter has come to Sparks and the people of both Ember and Sparks are on the verge of starvation. Yet again, Lina and Doon appear to have stumbled across a clue to the solution, but it will require sharp thinking and courage to uncover the truth.
This was much more like The City of Ember with plenty of adventure and Lina and Doon the solving another puzzle. At the same time, though, I felt like this book was a lot longer than it needed to be. The end just sort of rambled on for several more chapters, and while I liked the way she managed to tie up all those loose ends, I feel like there must have been a snappier way to do it.
