It was slow. Perry was a pain the ass with his new role. <spoiler>He can sense emotion but still doubt Arya. Big oof man. </spoiler>
At least, Arya was trying to do something. The relationship between Arya and Roar was very loving. It was really sad though. <spoiler> what happened to Liv… I wished we could have seen more of this character </spoiler>
Like probably most of the second book of a trilogy, it was not the best. It was pretty slow. Perry was boff. Arya was trying. Roar was intense. The plot was okay. I understood it but like it was really slow for something as “easy/simple” to do.

Loved the second book as much as the first one. Can't wait to read the third and final installment of the series.

How long do I have to wait to find out what happens to Perry and Aria....... Arrgghhhh

I liked it, I really did. Although it did kind of suffer from second book syndrome a little bit and it was quite predictable. I really hope book three will convince me more.

This series is so underhyped! A lot of people read it in the early days of YA, but I haven't heard about it in ages and it should be spoken about so much more! Seriously one of the better dystopian books coming out during that times, definitely better than Divergent, maybe up to The Hunger Games.

(view spoiler)[ This book really solidified my love for the characters. Aria is such a good example of a well written YA female. She acts her age, but still gets shit done. Authors really could take an example from how well she is written. I also really, really liked Roar and the friendship between him and Aria in this book. I actually think most of the characters in the book are written suprisingly well. The Six were great, loved their hilarious banter. Cinder started to grow on me and I'm so curious what will happen with him in the next book. The unlikely allegiance with Soren was so unexpected, but really good. Even the villains are great. You love to hate them, but they aren't becoming a caricature like tends to happen with villains in YA.

Besides the characters it actually also has an fantastic plot. I really enjoy how it's developing. The books are so action-packed and fast paced. So much is happening and I couldn't see things coming at all. I constantly felt like 'shittt, that really happened? What now!?'. I am so so so excited to figure out what the author planned for the last book. There is so much to that has to happen for things to turn out alright, but after reading the first two I completely trust her to stick the landing!  (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure about a rating yet. Review soon.

           I don't get the good reviews for this book. This book had SO MUCH POTENTIAL, but just felt really poorly written to me. Characters had thoughts but didn't elaborate on them...i.e. Perry thinking about a memory and he felt guilty, well why did he feel guilty and why didn't he want to look? Big mistakes.

The main reason I can't read this book series anymore is.....PERRY. I couldn't stand Perry in this novel. He was a hypocrite to me. He feels betrayed because Aria left to travel with Roar. However, Perry is the one who couldn't leave his group. He CHOSE not to chase after them. He admitted he could have caught up with them, but he didn't. And what is the whole reason that Aria is doing this? For him and her!! She's going to search for the still blue to find out about the better land that's being talked about. She's also doing it to save Talon. While she's saving Talon, and thinking about Perry, what's Perry doing? Cheating. Yep. I don't care if people think he didn't cheat, he did. He described looking at Kirra's curves, searching her out in the crowd, couldn't keep his eyes off her, desire for her, and his fierce hunger for Kirra. Then Perry's like I miss Aria always. Bull, if he loved and missed her, he wouldn't be thinking of anyone else just like Roar was all about Liv. Perry is selfish and I can't stand to read this series anymore. Disgusted! 

The only reason this novel got 2 out of 5 stars, instead of 1 was I enjoyed Roar. Roar's and Aria's friendship was touching and his love for Liv was heartbreaking. He's the only reason this book was even worth reading.

I would not recommend this novel to a friend.

While I always enjoy a dystopian romance, this sequel to Under the Never Sky was a bit formulaic for me. "Let's just get to the ending already" is not a good feeling to have when this is only the second of a planned trilogy. It would be refreshing if authors were brave enough these days to complete a story in one book. However, I'm still invested in finding out what happens to the main characters as they struggle to find safety in an increasingly hostile world (re: Aether storms, cannibals, etc). Language, vocabulary, and pacing are more suitable to younger (i.e. not almost 30 year olds). :)

Under the Never Sky grabbed my attention and left me on the edge of my seat. I fell in love with Rossi's characters and couldn't wait for more of her manufactured world in Through the Ever Night. She *so* did not disappoint. If anything, I think I liked it even more than the first. Veronica Rossi has achieved that perfect mix of humor, heart, action, romance, a cast of utterly phenomenal characters and a unique plot set in a world that is exquisitely built. 

  
    “Love was like the waves in the sea, gentle and good sometimes, rough and terrible at others, but that it was endless and stronger than the sky and earth and everything in between.”
  

Aria really came into her own in Through the Ever Night. It goes without saying that, as Blood Lord, Perry did as well. While there were elements of romance and even the dreaded love triangle – or square, in this case – the book was about more than that. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the romance and, perhaps, want to strangle a certain side character who I was afraid would threaten the happiness of my beloved Perry and Aria. Where I think this series – and these characters – really stand out from the rest of the genre, is the level of maturity of the relationship Perry and Aria share. While they want each other around, they're not entirely dependent on the other. They're also not easily swayed by affection or attention from another. 

  
    “It didn't matter if Aria was hundreds of miles away, or whether she'd hurt him, or said goodbye, or anything else. Nothing would change the way he felt. The moment Aria had taken his hand on the roof at Marron's, she'd changed everything. No matter what happened, she'd always be the one.”
  

The action and adventure of the book was every bit as intriguing and engrossing as the romance. I won't say anything to spoil the book because it's really best experienced for yourself and not read in my review. Just know to expect some more of the edge-of-your-seat action like in the first book and know that when it ends you WILL want more. 

  
    “We lose and lose, but we're still here. Shaking in place, afraid of doing something. I'm tired of settling for this because I don't know if something better exists. It has to. What point is there otherwise? I can do something about it now. And I will.”
  

I read this in audiobook version and it worked so very well. The narration and pacing was perfect. It definitely made my daily commute more enjoyable.

I wasn't as in love with it as I was with the first book, but it was still a great read!
The story moves forward and it is very action packed, which was great, but I felt like I wanted more romance!
The writing style is still amazing and the characters are all my favorites (love the Roar/Aria friendship).

Can't wait to read Into the Still Blue!

OH MY GOD I love this series SO MUCH!! I just can't get enough of Aria and Perry and their world. I need the next book SO badly right now.

I really enjoyed this book. I wouldn't say it was quite as good as the first one but it was still really good. It set up a great premises for book three and I can't wait to read it!!!

4.5/5

Finalmente! Sento i suoi delle trombe e gli angeli del paradiso cantare l'alleluia. Sapete da quanto tempo rimandavo la lettura di questo libro? Da gennaio! Under the never sky è stato uno dei primi libri letti nel 2014, ed ho aspettato sette mesi per leggerne il seguito... perchè?! *perchè sei scema*
Okay, okay, l'importante è che l'abbia fatto no? Giusto? ç_ç
