Jacob’s Reviews > The City of Ember > Status Update

Doon and Lina have found a way out, but now being hunted down. They have to leave now. They leave Ember using the way they found. Using all sorts of new things like a boat and a candle. They go down the river, leaving ember behind. They make it out. The path was real. Escaped ember and made it to the overworld of earth. See the sky and green grass and rolling hills. They see ember from above where they were.

Lina and Doon find a way out of Ember. They were able to decode the chewed up message to find that there was a secret pathway in the pipeworks you could take. There they discovered a smaller river, boats, and the first time they saw movable light. After this the guards and Mayor are now looking for them and in a effort to run, Lina gets caught... DUN DUN DUNnnnnnnnnnnnnn

When Lina goes out shopping one day, she's intrigued by 2 guys conversation. It was about colored pencils. In ember city, supplies are short and colored are no longer available, until now. After purchasing 2 colored pencils, blue and green, worth 5$ each, she loses her sister. After she sets out to find her, a city blackout happens, and this one lasted the longest time. Increased Lina's fear of pure darkness.

Alright!! So in what I read, Doon, the boy in the pipe works, wants to find the generator and wants to see how it works. He wants to fix it, and fix the problem with the power. The other character Lina, heard the story of a man who stumbled into the greenhouse about what happened to him and how he left the city and venturing out into the pitch black. This intrigues Lina into knowing more about the unknown.
