Synopsis of Under the Never Sky (as found on Goodreads):

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.


Review:

FIRST OF ALL: The names of the books in this series ROCKS. They are soooo good. (the covers to eeep.)

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST GUYS.
I can't believe another series is ending- I sound like a broken record, but it's another series that I started in the beginning of the high school days.

b) ROAR <3 OMG MY APPRECIATION FOR YOU SOOOOOOOARED. I LOVE YOU AS A SIDE CHARACTER.

Into the Still Blue:

*curled up in a blanket
*slight whimpers
*small smile at the fact Veronica Rossi kindly spared about 85% of our hearts
*grin at the fate of... certain characters.

I love that gif. It expresses me so well.

Under the Never Sky is a series that soared. With an interesting background, combining supernatural abilities and the dystopian atmosphere, and delightful plot turns and characters. It's written in a dual POV, which I generally find annoying for most books, but it totally worked for this series.

I really liked Aria and Perry as our central characters; their character growth is immense as they each step up to a higher spot of commandment throughout the series, and especially with how Aria has coped from the change.

The side characters are amazing support, creating a community in crisis as one of the major plot points in this story; especially Roar- he almost steals the spotlight in the series, with his charming and witty talk, and the way he backs up Aria and Perry, he just grabs your eye on the page and refuses to let go of your attention.

Overall, a riveting series that is a satisfying ride from start to finish, and is somehow exciting without tearing apart our hearts with any cliffhangers where we actually leave with our hearts semi-intact.

    1. If you're totally in love with dystopians, I totally recommend Legend by Marie Lu! It's such a great series.
