Finished the second "City of Ember" book - "The People of Sparks".
A good follow-up on the Ember book. The story takes place after the Emberites leave their underground city and find themselves in a sparsely populated surface world. The only town close has roughly the same population as Ember. The book focuses on the interactions between the surface and newly-surface dwellers in a society that is roughly at the "wild west" level of civilization - horse and buggy (though the buggies are often cars or trucks with the engine's removed). The "event" that resulted in the loss of surface life seems to be a combination of war and plagues.
