The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
City of Ember is a reminder to me of how much better YA novels are than middle grade. It seriously took me way longer to finish this book than it probably should have. I found the writing to be very repetitive with awful sentence structure. The plot was really predictable and the characters were so boring and generic. The protagonists were not relatable and a bit naive at times which just made the book even more dislikable. I was also hoping that Doon and Lina would get together, but of course, it never happens in this book because it's middle grade! Nothing about this book really stands out from other novels. Though I did appreciate the great world building, I thought the story was overall ironically dull.
