Summary: Aria lives in a future world that is ravaged by a changed climate I can only be described as 'violent energy storms' called Aether (I pictured intense, consistent lightening that is blue and red). This has created a wasteland which is called The Death Shop from those, like Aria, who live in Reverie. The Reverie is a sheltered area which holds a big portion of the population and has advanced technology, like the ability to instantly transform yourself into another place/time using an eye ...more

Again with the WOW! I cannot get enough of these new books with new authors!!! Seriously they are all blowing me away and I cannot read fast enough! This book was just WOW, at first I had no idea what to write so I had to wait a few days to think of something and I am still trying to write this review because this book was just too good for words right away.

The book pulls you into this amazing world within a world. Here is Aria in the "realms" not really living and not knowing anything else. Eve Again with the WOW! I cannot get enough of these new books with new authors!!! Seriously they are all blowing me away and I cannot read fast enough! This book was just WOW, at first I had no idea what to write so I had to wait a few days to think of something and I am still trying to write this review because this book was just too good for words right away.

The book pulls you into this amazing world within a world. Here is Aria in the "realms" not really living and not knowing anything else. Everything is on her smarteye and she has no idea how to survive without it. When something horrible happens at her POD she is exiled and she is facing the "real" world and has no idea how she will survive. She wasn't built for the outside world but the further in you get the more you realize she belongs more there than in her realms, yes it might have something to do with the "savage" Perry but hello I would love to be exiled if I got to meet him! He opens her eyes to new things and at first they don't get along and then things take a turn where they start to actually feel something more than friendship.

As a reader looking into this story I felt like I was a peeping tom. It was so well written and the story just sucks you in that you forget that you are a reader. You want to know what is happening so you try to hurry up get to what happens at the end but are so glad you didn't because you would miss all the small things. Seriously all the characters are amazing especially Roar I am in LOVE! Aria has an adventure ahead of her and she will do everything she can to protect those she loves. Throughout this story you find out so much about Aria and Perry that even they didn't know about eachother. The ending just about ripped my heart out and I could NOT believe some things that happened but I know it is a great setup for book two and I will have NO finger nails for the wait ahead to see what is going to happen!!

This is another book I truly recommend to all of you to go out and get and just try and I know you will fall in love just like I did!! ...more

I did not think that I would enjoy Under the Never Sky as much as I did. Maybe that's why it took me so long to read, but I'm so glad I finally decided to pick up the audio book from the library. I really enjoyed the world that Veronica Rossi created. With the Realms and the smart eyes and all those other awesome things that make up this book, were very unique. I can't wait to get my hands on book 2 :) Oh and I don't know why I thought this book involved fairies. That's what I get for not readin ...more

5 STARS!!!!

A place where the sky never clears, where the aether storm never leaves, and where the skies can never be what you want it to be. That's what is like under the never skies. That, and more.

Another dystopian novel that will surely leave a remarkably good impression to its readers. Adventure, suspense, mystery, and romance were magnificently balanced in the story of Aria and Perry. ...more
