My daughter was reading "City of Embers" on the recommendation of her cousin, and really liked it. For Christmas, she received the 3 remaining books in the series and asked me to read them as well.
I must say they were a pretty good read. The basic storyline involves a city that has no natural light and relies upon stored food, and a hydroelectric power generation for survival. As the inhabitants are not the first generation in this city, they are unaware of the details of how the city was formed, nor how the generator works, nor do they have any knowledge of what is outside of their city (a dark zone).
The books explore what happens to this city when the generator goes wonky and the supplies run low, some history of why the city was created, and followup of where the inhabitants end up after abandoning the city.
