Under the Never Sky #2 Through the Ever Night

An enticing sequel. Presenting Under the Never Sky #2 Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi.

Here is the summary of the book:

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.


What follows after 'Under the Never Sky' in the form of 'Through the Ever Night' is a fantastic sequel. They said Book 1 was Aria's tale and now Book 2 is Perry's story. Well they are right. Perry takes center stage in this book. And struggles to find his voice among his people. He is a blood lord now, so his first duty comes as that of his tribe's protection and well fare. He struggles because he wants Aria with him. He struggles because he knows his tribe don't seem to take him seriously and would never allow a mole to live with them. And then there is the elusive land free of the the aether ridden sky called 'the still blue', a constant motive throughout.

Now let us look towards the highlights of this story. Perry most of all owned it. You could practically feel his emotions raw and passionate within these pages. Literally you one with Perry's dilemma, and that is something an author should be proud of. Of course Perry & Aria remained strong. This time they had some big hurdles along their way and they overcame it with vigor. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, well with the forces at work determined to keep them apart I daresay it proves to be true......

Another notable factor was the friendship between Aria & Roar, a friend who knows your every thought, in sync with you always. And of course Aria's character saw massive development. Much stronger now, she wields that knife like a pro. She is no longer the scared girl she was in 'Under the Never Sky'.

Rossi sure makes the feels come tenfold. I particularly liked her style because you can feel the raw passion or the determination of the character, which is there of course. But you actually feel like a part of the tale and that is an achievement, that is. And then twists & turns and shocking reveals and the betrayals..... well I can definitely say i'm officially counting the clock for 'Into the Still Blue'..... ha! Good thing i've got and e-arc of it, can't wait to see how it finishes.

  1. Aww lucky you that you've got an e arc of Into the Still Blue. I just got into the series so I didn't think of requesting before but I have now :) I loved the bond which was formed between Aria and Roar. I felt heartbroken for Roar and I hope he is fine. Perry was awesome as well. Great review Aparijita! :)
