A review by daniellesalwaysreading
The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne DuPrau

4.0

I really liked the first book in this series "The City of Ember" but the second and third books were not as good. They lacked the sense of adventure, discovery, and suspense that the first book had. The fourth book "The Diamond of Darkhold" was a return to the style of the first book. It had the same amount of adventure although it was not as suspenseful. Once again, the plot was a bit farfetched and relied on the mass survival of very fragile products to come together. But it is the adventure and discovery that makes this series entertaining, so just ignore the fact that the author asks us to suspend our disbelief as much as she does.
