Sometimes your book reading experience comes down to one single factor: Do you like the MC?That character can make or break a book.Name the biggest praise and the biggest complaint about J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. If you said they're both Holden Caulfield then you get the gold star. This book was teetering on a precipice for me. It could either land back on solid ground or go toppling off into the deep end. eventually, the main characters, Aria and Perry, are what stacked it back to bei [...]

2.5 stars My feelings on Under the Never Sky are fair to middling. Overall, it had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, I had a hard time staying interested in the story and invested in the characters. The book is one of many recent dystopian-lite novels that have been cropping up in the YA market recently, and while I don't always mind books that are less focused on the world-building as long as something else is done well, neither the characters nor the plot were so outstanding here that the [...]

Itually really liked this book.I was captivated from the very first page, and that doesn't happen to me very often. I don't read a lot of Dystopian novels, so I was really surprised in myself!Our heroine, Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. She's never thought about what life is like outside the dome's doors. So, when Aria's mother goes missing, she knows her chances of surviving are not very good. She them meets an outsider named Perry, who is also searching for some [...]

As seen on The ReadventurerMy opinion about Under the Never Sky is similar to the one I have about Unearthly. I am not going to claim that these books are ground-breaking or Printz-worthy. But in their genres, dystopia/post-apocalyptic and PNR respectively, they are as good as it gets. They are well written and entertaining, with characters and relationships that do not annoy and make you roll your eyes. The summary of Under the Never Sky does this book a disservice. It is accurate enough, but o [...]

Well, this sure isn’t your usual dystopian read. It was quite captivating, but not actually perfect. I enjoyed many things about it, such as the little twists, that were mostly unpredictable, the unique characters and the romance.‘‘This was my first kiss,’’ she said. ‘‘My first real one.’’ ‘‘Felt like the first real one for me, too.’’Aria and Perry were so beautiful together. To be honest, there is a lot lot lot of angst in this since around 75% of the story is based on [...]

This is a difficult book to review. I want to start off by saying this is not a bad book. I think this book will appeal to a lot of people, but at the same time will turn others off. I was, for the most part, turned off. I really don't think it is my kind of book, which is strange considering dystopian is my favorite sub-genre. And if I'm really being honest here, I feel a little conned by this being marketed as dystopian. Sci-Fi, yes. Dystopian, no. Maybe post-apocalyptic, but even that is push [...]

I'LL BE RE-READING THIS TRILOGY THIS MONTH.Second time read review : REVIEW TO COME TODAY. 4.9 stars.Rounded up to 5 STARSShe looked up. "A world of nevers under a never sky."this book tells us about a 17 year old girl named Aria. She lives in a pod called Reverie and she has a mother, who is a scientist and her mother lives in another pod called Bliss because of her job but Aria doesn't even know what exactly her mom job is but the distance between she and her mom isn't really mattered because [...]

'Under the Never Sky' had been sitting on my TBR list for years. I had heard so many great things about it, but since it isn't my usual "type" of story, I kept putting it off. Recently, the Audible edition was on sale and so I picked it up and decided to finally give it a go.Unfortunately, this book left me feeling a little disappointed. It was good, but I expected to be blown away after all of the hype. Again, this isn't my normal "type" of read. Maybe if I were a big adventure/fantasy/dystopia [...]

He jerked when she traced the shape of the wings on his skin, a groan sliding out of him. Perry silently cursed himself. He couldn't have sounded more savage if he'd tried.4.5 stars. I fell so in love with this book that I scrapped my original thought to do a rolling montage of a girl walking in combat boots with her hair blowing in the wind while the theme song of The Young And The Restless played in the background. I realized that I just wanted to talk about the damn book without being sarcast [...]

"A world of nevers under a never sky."There's always something so compelling about a book with a tantalizing title. Under The Never Sky first caught my attention because the title seemed so fanciful somehow. I've been out of the loop for a while now, so I hadn't even heard of this book, but when HarperCollins put me on auto-approve, I took a chance and requested. And I'm really glad I did. First things first, this is not strictly a dystopian novel. Nitpicky, I know, but while it is post-apocalyp [...]

I thought Tatiana's comparisons between this and Blood Red Road were spot on, Under the Never Sky is definitely a very similar kind of book but without the strange dialect that sometimes made the other difficult to appreciate at times. They both focus on the dystopian aspect, instead of getting caught up in a romantic whirlwind, they both feature a journey that keeps the novels fast-paced and interesting, and I can honestly say that I cared about the characters in both books.The romance, when it [...]

Actual rating: 4.5/5 Peregrine starsUnder the Never Sky is the book one in this series and before you start it, I strongly suggest you read its novella, Roar and Liv first so that you can have better understanding about what happened to Liv in this book.**Setting**Unlike the novella, this time the story was told in the third-person POV, and alternated between Perry and Aria's viewpoints. There were two kinds of people living on Earth, the Dwellers and the Outsiders. The former were called "Moles [...]

I tried twice. I only reached 10% so no ratings for this one. The writing style is way too choppy, and there are so many pronouns that I get lost on what the heck is going on. However, maybe it is me since many other readers have no problems reading it AND clearly they enjoy it. So, don't let my inability to read this book stop you from giving it a try. Yes I'm eating crow.I was wrong!Don't be shocked. It happens often. I know you can't believe it but yeah, I was wrong.This turned out to be a go [...]

4.5 stars. Why are more people not talking about these books?! This trilogy was so fun! It's probably my favorite dystopian series aside from The Hunger Games. The characters are all likable and the first 2 books are really well done! (The third one kind of falls apart, but that also seems to fit the bill for dystopian YA trilogies). I read it so long ago I don't have a ton of detailed thoughts, but I just had to share that I really enjoyed it and recommend it!

3 stars “A world of nevers under a never sky.”Well kiddies, I am in the minority again. While I enjoyed this book, it lacked the wow factor that I was expecting from it, especially since many of the ratings are 4 and 5 stars. Under the Never Skyis about Aria, a Dweller, and Perry an Outsider. Both live in a dystopian world placed hundreds of years after our present. After a fatal incident brings Aria and Perry together, both of them are cast out from their groups and must battle to survive t [...]

Update March 06thBack to regular price!♥♥♥♥♥SPECIAL DEAL ALERT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥February 28th!Not for us Aussies because Harper Collins doesn't think we're an important market, :P but my American friends can buy this book at special price. 0.99 cGo for it! This is a fun, very juvenile, don't-think-too-much-about-it-or-you'll-find-plotholes dystopian romance. It's been so long since I read it, but I remember liking it. I can't give info on safety, language and sex scenes be [...]

Under the Never Sky is set in a post-apocalyptic world prone to energy storms in which the few human survivors are either Dwellers, living in government controlled pods, or Outsiders, living in the wasteland. When Aria, a Dweller, is exiled from the safety of her home, she forms an alliance with Perry, an Outsider, to work toward a common goal.I really liked this book. In the beginning I had a little bit of trouble connecting with the characters and the story, though I think this is largely due [...]

Yeah, that's right—5 stars, glitches! This book is massive champ. Sorry, I just had to find a way to use that Dweller slang somewhere in this review. Ha. Now that I got that out of my system let's get down to business. Under the Never Sky is set in the future where the world is ravaged by Aether storms that strike the earth with fire. Humanity's forced to split into two different societies—the Dwellers and the Outsiders. The Dwellers live in dome Pods and people go about their daily business [...]

This review is also available on my blog, QwertyLets recall how I decided to pick this one up, Rage Comic style!Pfffttis book just isn't for me. I made it up to 50% and then I couldn't go on anymore. Realizing just how many 4-5-stars ratings for this book, I decided not to rate it because I think the problem partly lies in me.Patience. I don't haz it.Aria and Perry both have a very unique and distinctive background with countless terms dedicated to describe their daily lives. Reverie, Realm, Bli [...]

I really really enjoyed this book. At first I had trouble connecting with the characters and the world, but around the middle I began to be really intrigued! The world in this trilogy is simply AMAZING, so big and vast and full of surprises! I think Veronica Rossi did a great job building it! Really, this world of the Dwellers and the Savages is really unique. The whole thing about the Realms, the Aether, the Senses, everything!I also like the romance in this story, Peregrine and Aria are adorab [...]

6/19/2017: I really forgot just how much I loved this book and now I'm dying to reread the other books In the series. Love love loved Aria and Perry and Roar. Loved the slow burn and the sweet moments. Loved the fighting and creepiness of some of the Outsiders. And loved the ending most of all.

Wow.I just─ I mean, like─ I can't even─Wow.<3

I owe this book so much.For several months, I’d been a horrendous reading slump - the kind where you have a pile of books to choose from and read, but you actively avoid them all and spend your free time stuffing your face with junk food and watching Netflix.I’d received a lot of advise for the slump: read novellas, read comedy books, and watch more television (which was a really bad idea, because then I watched all eight seasons of SUPERNATURAL in a row).But I decided to pick up UNDER THE N [...]

Ohhh, my poor aching head. This was NOT what I was expecting at all. I spent most of the book tossing between 2-stars or 3-stars, so it's a 2.5?I absolutely did not connect to this book.Ididlike Perry and Aria, even if their romance was insanely weird.How weird? Well, it didn't existuntil suddenly it did. Just because you help and work with someone doesn't mean that's a pathway to love. There has to be, maybe, some chemistry, too?? I liked them as individuals, though. Aria wasn't an insufferable [...]

Oh this book!!! It gave me ALL the feelings. And isn't that just a beautiful title??? "Under the never sky" sounds almost dreamlike. Really beautiful. Top marks for the name :) So the world building? It's good!! I like it. I want to know more!! We basically have two populations; the Dwellers and the Outsiders. We know that everyone used to live in the Unity until the Aether brought all these mad crazy electrical storms and caused the people to split into these two separate populations with one g [...]

This kind of review never fails to bring out my shifty, shyster side. (Yes, I certainly do have one). I tend to think of my reviews for this genre as shoddily assembled, incoherent rambles. And I use the word “genre” there without a modifier because if you take a peek at my shelves for this book, you’ll see that I have absolutely no idea where to put it. That’s right, I probably couldn’t tell the difference between speculative and sci-fi if they walked up to me on the street and punche [...]

Sale Alert January Book Deal for $1.99 on I like it when an author can write from various PoV and I never have to look back at the front of the chapter to remember who is speaking. I have read a few books where every character sounds the same in there chapters and I never experienced that in Rossi's writing.This is a fun easy read. Rossi doesn't shove a bunch of background dialog about how thing became what they are you learn through the story and some things you figure out on your own. It took [...]

During the first few chapters of this book, I was tempted to violate my sacred rule in reading books (finishing a book once I started it). The backdrop of the story seems so alien to me and I felt like I will be reading another measly done dystopian trilogy. But wait, after reading the first few chapters. I have proven myself wrong. Under the Never Sky is an original dystopian novel and is a very strong foundation to a trilogy. So, for fans of dystopian series, this series is a must read.

Under the Never Sky is mainly about a girl who has no knowledge in living among the primitives until she found herself hanging out with one. And together despite their differences, they must fulfill their quest and rescue their love ones. 1.) plot - if you know me, I am a big sucker for novels that have something to do with survival. A bit confusing at first because of the technology and genetic that I can't seem to comprehend. Anyways, the concept was really amazing and hella cool. It got me th [...]

3.5Well color me surprised.I'm at a lostkeriously. Look, after those first few pages I expected this to be pure and utter shit. Abominable shit at that. I mean, seriously, that was an awful beginning. Atrocious! I had to push through. And I only did so because everyone loved this. Tons of friends kept saying it'd get better. I'll let you in on a little secret. I did not believe my friends. I had you all for liars cause I could not for the life of me get how in the world this could get better! Bu [...]
