Under the Never Sky Under the Never Sky

Publisher Description

Fighting to survive in a ravaged world, a Dweller and a Savage form an unlikely alliance in New York Times bestselling author Veronica Rossi's "unforgettable dystopian masterpiece" (Examiner.com).

Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland—known as The Death Shop—are slim. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild—a savage—and her only hope of staying alive. A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile—everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption.

In alternating chapters told in Aria's and Perry's voices, Under the Never Sky subtly and powerfully captures the evolving relationship between these characters and sweeps readers away to a harsh but often beautiful world. Continuing with Through the Ever Night and concluding with Into the Still Blue, the Under the Never Sky trilogy has already been embraced by readers in twenty-six countries and been optioned for film by Warner Bros.

Great Debut!

Great first novel! Definitely a must read in 2012 for any fan of this genre - it's refreshing to find a novel with actual character development and a quick moving plot. I can't wait for the sequel!

One of the best series I've ever read. Veronica Rossi is so poetic in the way she writes.

Cool Premise But Not Dystopian: Barely Post-Apocalyptic

#1 Issue- It’s supposed to be the future after a big unexplained catastrophic event, but 90% of the setting takes place in tribal huts in the woods, and then migrates to a weird castle fortress, which really messed up my perception of the time period. There’s no real mention of pollution or abandoned cities to make it feel post-apocalyptic. If you’re into that kind of thing, this is the book for you, but I went into this expecting sci-fi elements, and all I got were VR contacts and an evil councilman. Most definitely NOT dystopian. Also, what the heck is Aether?
#2) Plot: It’s got some action, but I feel the second book is better.
#3) While the characters themselves weren’t groundbreaking in their uniqueness, I found their relationships to be the best part of the book because they were more layered than I expected. I enjoyed the romance: Aria and Perry were both flawed, but I think they (Aria especially) developed nicely throughout the story, and their relationship was sweet.
•Overall, not what I expected, but I’m invested enough in their relationships to keep reading.
