A worthy follow-up to what will likely become a kid lit. classic, which is a difficult task, and this book is by no means a retread. It goes on to explore even deeper and more meaningful themes, in some ways, than the City of Ember did, and also has an extremely satisfying ending.

Once again handling some heavy topics with the type of grace that can be appreciated beyond just the intent of reaching its target audience, but the prose isn't equaling the original.
