The book is flat out fantastic, but don't be too tempted by the sequel. People of Sparks is a pretty big let-down. It does explain a little more about the end of the world because it involves people who are descendants of the ones that survived above ground. Now if you're even more curious about what ended the world, the story is told in the Prophet of Yonwood, which I haven't read because Sparks was so disappointing. But I've heard it doesn't capture the magic of Ember either. I think it really is that Ember isn't about the message of the end of the world. In fact, you don't even know that the world ended or really much more than that until the end when you discover that the city was underground the whole time (this is actually meant to be a big reveal, I'm sad that the movies promotions feature it so heavily). It's about the end of Ember, and the main characters.

It's something that has me curious, to say the least. Curious enough to order the book this morning from Amazon... It would make sense though, if it all plays out the same way in the book as well.
