Book Review: Through The Ever Night

Through The Ever Night (Under the Never Sky #2)

By: Veronica Rossi

Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian
Goodreads Description: It's been months since Aria last saw Perry. Months since Perry was named Blood Lord of the Tides, and Aria was charged with an impossible mission. Now, finally, they are about to be reunited. But their reunion is far from perfect. The Tides don't take kindly to Aria, a former Dweller. And with the worsening Aether storms threatening the tribe's precarious existence, Aria begins to fear that leaving Perry behind might be the only way to save them both. Threatened by false friends, hidden enemies, and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder,Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and dystopian elements to create a captivating love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.
Hot guys, mean villains, epic fights! Why wouldn't you like this book? 
     This series has not been a disappointment! The story continues right where it left off. The romance between Aria and Perry is totally there! But with murder attempts, starving people, Talon still in Reverie, and the Aether storms getting worse, things get intense really quick. This forces Aria and Roar to leave and go in search for Liv and the Still Blue. Relationships are then strained and people are hurt. 
     Towards the middle of this story I was kind of at a stand still for a few chapters. It just got a little dull for me. But I pushed through it and am so happy that I did! It definitely paid off! 
     Once again, I love Roar! He is by far my favorite character! In this book though, my heart literally breaks for him! 
     I love how Aria is a total beast in this book! talk about a strong and awesome female character! She definitely grew into the type of character I was hoping for!
     Perry was a little disappointing for me through out this book. But he had a right to be the way he was. He was in a very vulnerable and stressful position, so I do not have any real complaints about him. 
     There are a few shocks in this book! from a mean character returning to actually be helpful, to a beloved person losing their life, to worries about relationships being ruined. You must read to find out! ;)
     I would totally recommend this whole series to everyone! If the only complaint I have had the entire time was just a few chapters in the middle, then let me tell you, that is just me being picky! Great book!
My Rating: 
Only 3.5 because at some points it wasn't a book that stopped me from putting it down. But still totally worth reading!

~Book Review~ Under The Never Sky

Under The Never Sky
(Under The Never Sky #1)
By: Veronica Rossi
Genre: Dystopian, Young Adult

Goodreads Description: WORLDS KEPT THEM APART.

DESTINY BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.

Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.

If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.
     I loved this book! From the very beginning they have you hooked. A few people breaking in to a part of their dome and then going crazy and killing people and starting a fire, and then Aria getting saved by this mysterious savage? How can you not get excited to read this book?? Plus, not to mention, the freaky Aether storms with killer lightning. 

     Now for Perry, that mysterious savage, who saves Aria's life time and time again. Talk about one hansom sounding guy. I totally loved his character! A strong, stern guy who can't stand the "Moles" but keeps saving one anyways. And how he can't stand her at all but slowly starts to when he gets more comfortable with her. Plus he has some awesome abilities! Who wouldn't love to see at night and be able to smell so well you could actually smell how people felt! That is so awesome! 
     Aria is a great character. Strong, stubborn, but smart too. She was awesome! I loved that she pushed through her pain and exhaustion on the outside so she wouldn't seem weak. Plus, she begins to develop some talent on her own along the way. 
     I love getting to watch Aria and Perry travel together and slowly become closer. That would have never have happened without Roar, one of Perry's best friends that they run into along the way. He was so amazing, and hilarious, fun and caring. He was hands down my favorite character in the book! Also, he is a Audile, which means he can hear amazingly! He is quite the help to Perry and Aria along their journey. 
    Along with Roar is a little boy named Cinder, and his name makes perfect sense too. Talk about the coolest ability of all! He can channel the Aether storms through his body! AWESOME!
   All in all this book was great and I am excited to start the next book in the series because lets just say they leave you with some crazy stuff towards the end!
