Aria has been exiled from Reverie. She has been sent away
from
the only place she has ever known, the only place she feels
mostly safe. Now, she is banished to the unknown and what's
worse, it's with a Savage. He doesn't want her there, and
she doesn't want to be there, but in order to survive, they
will need to work together to reach their destinations.
UNDER THE NEVER SKY is a story filled with romance, action,
and feelings. The characters in this beautifully written
novel
leave me speechless. Aria is a main character that I can't
help but love. She is a girl with mother issues, a girl who
sometimes has a chip on her shoulder, but also a girl who
sticks up for herself and overcomes her obstacles. Aria and
Perry, her travel companion/savage/boy with gorgeous eyes,
are put in rough situations. They are facing loss and
possibly even death, but both keep fighting to save their
own families. Their courage and surprising weakness put them
on a level all too relatable and all too enjoyable to read
about.
Veronica Rossi spins an excellent plot to match her
unforgettable characters. The first scenes open up with near
immediate action, and the story never falters from that. The
transitions between major plot points are alive and flowing
with character development and a progressive romance that
takes my breath away and leaves no room for boredom or loss
of interest. All of it is backed up with lovely secondary
characters, my favorite being Roar, Perry's friend. He is
snarky and hilarious, and I hope to see more of him in the
next book.
What blows me away beyond the plot and the characters in
general is the relationship between Perry and Aria. Rossi
gives stunning looks into their characters that match the
progression of their getting to know each other. Each reveal
and discovery is smoothly done and an immense pleasure to
read. They are far from predictable and make choices that
thoroughly surprised me.
UNDER THE NEVER SKY is now on my list of favorites. I am
happily invested in this incredible start to a YA series,
and I cannot wait to read more of Aria and Perry and their
extraordinary adventures.
Under the Never Sky follows the character of Aria, a 17 year

Death Shop. It's a place filled with cannibals and terrible
storms. Even the air can kill her, so when she meets
Outsider Perry, she knows that he's her own chance for
survival. Despite his reluctance to take in a sheltered girl
from Reverie, Perry knows that Aria has the potential to
help redeem himself. The two must learn how to work together
if they are to survive, and find out things they never
thought possible
