The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne DuPrau
4.0
Realizing that this series is truly ending makes me all sentimental. Although this series isn't my all-time favorite, I've realized that it's original, and therefore memorable.
When I read the usual teen romance series, it usually takes me a while to get into the second, third (etc.) book because I don't really remember what happened in the first book, even if I read it like a month ago. To be honest, after a while all those books blur together. For me, [b:The City of Ember|307791|The City of Ember (Book of Ember, #1)|Jeanne DuPrau|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347778595s/307791.jpg|2285229] was different. Despite the fact that I read it some time ago, I remember what happened in it, as well as in [b:The People of Sparks|3467|The People of Sparks (Book of Ember, #2)|Jeanne DuPrau|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320484882s/3467.jpg|2529035] and [b:The Prophet of Yonwood|207034|The Prophet of Yonwood (Book of Ember, #3)|Jeanne DuPrau|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320636285s/207034.jpg|969]. That's what really stood out to me in this series - originality. I even got my mother to read the whole series.
Otherwise, what can I say? This book was entertaining, fun, and satisfactory. I would definitely recommend this series to everyone, despite this being a juniors book.
Lovers of dystopian fiction will also get a kick out of this.
