The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau

5.0

What a fantastic sequel to City of Ember! I already liked the first book, with the only complaint being that the story went by very quickly. The People of Sparks, however, definitely kept my attention with the action that was going on! I've definitely enjoyed the switch in perspective between Lina and Doon, just so you can see different things happening in the story. Though the final act was downright fascinating to imagine, and seeing their perspectives on that part was something that had me cheering for them big time! One other thing that had me holding my breath was actually how the whole conflict starts. The act itself made me think "no way, there's no way this is gonna cause more issues" but the way that it played out and started the chaos was something I couldn't imagine going. But wow, my attention was kept the whole time reading it. Just incredible.
