The people who have been supplying their city for years have now stop ed. The Generator which keep the lights going in the city is breaking down causing blackouts. if there is no light, the city will die. Lina and Doon must find a way out of the city. Lina is a messenger and Doon a Pipe works labor at a young age they are assigned their profession for life. Now that the City is breaking down and everyone could die, Lina and Doon are the only ones who can save the city. This was an amazing novel. It is apart of a 4 part series. Each about 300 pages. These novels while short and an easy reading level still have an amazing story line and plot. After reading the first book it leaves you wanting the second. and after the second the third. HOWEVER the third was bad. but the fourth. WHOA. (book reviews on all of theses books soon to come.) The plot was genius. It was well developed and the way the mystery was solved was very smart. It was a captivating book. Smart, Witty and really very good. I would recommend this book series who likes to read post-Apocalyptic books. Happy reading Emilie
