I'm tempted to attribute the dumbed down world building, logic flaws, and flat characters to the fact that this is written as children's literature, but I've read far too many excellent stories in that category to accept that children don't need or deserve better. Much of the ignorance of the people...

Fun YA story about two kids growing up in a city that lives in total darkness. This was very entertaining for a couple of hours - the characters are well developed, it is well paced, and very well written for a YA novel. I'm going to get the rest of the tetralogy immediately.
