Not Continuing

*SPOILERS*
I unfortunately do not think I am going to finish the Books of Ember series. The ending was good but also a GIANT cliffhanger to pull you in to the next book. However I didn't like the book enough to finish it. In the end Doon and Lina get to the new land and come to a great hole where the City of Ember is. I found it frustrating that the new beautiful land was just above them and they couldn't see it. I don't often read a book and not like it so i was disappointed that I didn't like it. Maybe the book was written at an age level too young for me, because if I was younger I probably would have liked the book more. However the book was still really good but I just don't think these books are for me.

Starting ANOTHER Series

I started the book, The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau which is the first book in the City of Ember book series. In the book the City of Ember they used to have a unlimited supply of everything but they recently have been running out of items. One of those items is light bulbs so the blackouts are becoming more common and the lights for bed go out at 9:00. In this world a kid goes to school until they are 12 and then they are assigned a job. Lina Mayfleet wants the job of messenger but instead gets the job of Pipeworks worker. Doon Harrow gets job of messenger but wants Pipeworks worker- so they switch.
Since I just started the book I am not very far in and so far I don't know if I like the book. It is moving really slowly and so far not much as happened since around the first chapter when Lina and Doon switch jobs. I don't know if this world is in the past or the future because they don't have trees or grass or the technology we have now but it doesn't seem like it was in the past because it is a different world. I haven't read much but will definitely finish it.
