Under The Never Sky #2
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 and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, can their love survive through the ever night?

"We lose and lose, but we're still here."
Okay *takes deep breath*. Where do I even begin? This series is everything I could wish for in a novel. There's adventure, action, betrayal, heartbreak, danger, romance, friendship and loads more. Loads more. I can't even describe it properly but I'll do my best.
Through The Ever Night is the second installment to the Under The Never Sky series by Veronica Rossi and it picks up right where book one ended. THIS SCENE. It was all kinds of wonderful, let me tell you. I absolutely loved Perry's reaction to seeing Aria after being apart for so long. My heart warmed completely and I smiled like a loon:
"When she saw him, her eyes widened in surprise, but her stride didn't slow and neither did his.
He shed his things, dropping them where they fell, and sprinted."
Do you feel the love? Because omg the feels from this scene alone, sigh <3. In TTEN, it's apparent how both Perry and Aria are hesitant to be open about their feelings. Especially since many of the tribe members aren't so welcoming to having a 'Dweller' in their midst, even if Aria is an Aud. Aether storms are worsening and occurring more often than not. Aria had struck a deal with Consul Hess to ensure the safety of Talon, Perry's nephew. And as Aria continued her communication with Consul Hess about finding the Still Blue, she quickly learned that the Pods are also at risk from the Aether. Just when I was celebrating over the fact that Aria and Perry are finally together, circumstance calls for them to be separated again but I loved seeing their character grow as the story progressed. Aria just continually got even more and more kick-a. And even though it sort of saddened me to see Perry 'stuck' in place as the new Tides' Blood Lord, I enjoyed seeing him mature as one. The Tides depended on him and it wouldn't have been in his character to abandon them. It's one of the reasons that make him such a strong and lovable hero. In the parts of the book that they were together though, constant swoons.
"Be ready, because when I see you, I'll never let you go again."
In my opinion, TTEN had a huge emphasis on trust. Trust between the Tides and Perry. Trust between Aria and Roar and even trust between her and Soren, a character I did not think I would ever come to like. I really loved seeing how close Roar and Aria had become though, how their friendship grew. But oh how my heart hurt during the few chapters close to the end. I was definitely worried that one of my favorite characters wouldn't be the same *wipes tear*. Overall, this is a story of strength and persistence, and one filled with a multitude of memorable characters. There wasn't a thing that I disliked (besides Sable, but that's a given...oh wait and that red-headed Scire!!). Ms. Rossi certainly knows how to keep you wanting more. And with how this book ended, the series is sure to conclude with a bang.
"Love is a rebellious bird that nobody can tame."

Into The Still Blue
I LOVE this series. not just because of Aria & Perry, but because, like you mentioned, of Aria and Roar. Thank God for such a platonic and REAL friendship!
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly!! Definitely one of my top favorite friendships.
DeleteAh well, I actually thought about putting this series aside...forever, but your review made me want to reconsider this misjudgment of mine ;) LOVE the review, by the way! I definitely ship Perry and Aria!! Although I must admit that I'm not deeply in love with the world-building ://
ReplyDeleteImo, the world-building took a while to develop. At the beginning, I kind of hoped for more of an info dump to understand what the heck was going on but eventually when I did get it, I was already in love with the characters to care haha. If you do try again, I hope you enjoy it better the second time round :)
DeleteI loved how this series touched on so many different types of relationships. From friendships, to romantic ones to sibling ones. I love how this series should so many different side to these types of relationships too! I can't wait for you to read book three and get attacked with the feels ;) I promise it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteI am with you 100% on how there was such a variety of relationships! That's probably the biggest reason why I love this series so much. But dude, I actually finished book three a little while ago heheh but haven't written up a review yet. And yes, holy moly, the feels were strong!!
DeleteI really feel bad for not starting this series when the first one came out as I'd probably finish it by now. Now I'm just lazy ass and I cannot make myself read any new series. But I'm so glad that this one was so good. I'll have to read it soon. Great review :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhh Tanja yes, read it soon please! I really really hope you enjoy it as much as I did <3
