From Goodreads:
It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.
Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.
Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at first.
Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?
Threatened by false friends 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 sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure-and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.
I recently read Under the Never Sky and really liked it. Look at me, reading two books in a series fairly close together! I’m getting better at reading series (I hope!)!
I liked this book just as much as UtNS – in fact, I may have liked it a bit more. It seemed that there was more tension and action in this book, and I loved it. While I wanted to see more of Aria and Perry together initially, it worked to keep them apart. I think it kept the story moving and definitely made things more interesting to have them separated.
And ROAR! I love him even more after reading this book. He was funny and charming as I expected, but my heart broke for him at times in this book. I know there’s a novella out there featuring Roar and I think I’m going to have to track it down…
Part of what I loved about this book was that it was somewhat unpredictable (at least to me) – there were plot twists that I definitely didn’t see coming, and I can’t wait to read the conclusion to the series, Into the Still Blue. How will it end? Who will survive? Will Aria and Perry get a happily ever after??? I need to know!
I have really enjoyed this series, and definitely recommend it!
