Review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1)
by Veronica Rossi
Published: January 3rd 2012

Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.
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. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. 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. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

"She looked up. "A world of nevers under a never sky."
She fit in well then, he thought. A girl who never shut up." 

I honestly can't name one thing I didn't like about Under the Never Sky. I loved the characters. The romance. The plot. And the writing.

To be honest I had no interest in reading this book. But then I saw a teaser Tuesday with one small quote and was just like, okay I'll read it. So I did! And I am really glad.

I enjoyed so much of Under the Never Sky. It's not a typical dystopian novel I've read before. Dystopian books always annoy me at some point in the book, and it usually takes me a bit to get into them. But Under the Never Sky was neither annoying, nor did it take me long to get into. I actually forgot it was dystopian, which is good, since it's not my favorite genre.

Under the Never Sky really exceeded my expectations. I loved about everything. The characters were amazing. The adventure was enjoyable and the romance was as close to a YA book can get to perfection! It wasn't rushed at all. It progressed rather nicely. As did the entire book!

"She absorbed the terror and beauty of him and his world. Of every moment over the past days. All of it, filling her up like the first breath she'd ever taken. And never had she loved life more."
