secretmagic's review against another edition
5.0
‘Under the Never Sky’ was a book I was dying to read, put off for so long, and fell in love instantly; so when I was given the chance to read ‘Through the Ever Night’ I couldn’t contain my excitement. I was desperate to jump back into Perry and Aria’s world. After the way the first book ended, I needed to know if they’d get together. The action, excitement and emotional rollercoaster we’re sent on met all my expectations and more. I loved every single moment of this book.
‘Through the Ever Night’ begins almost exactly where the previous book ended with Aria and Perry meeting up for the first time since they parted ways - we actually get to hear the words Aria had been waiting for from Perry. But their reunion is short-lived because of Perry’s new duties as the Blood Lord of the Tides and Aria’s task to find the Still Blue in order to save Talon from Reverie. It definitely sets the scene for the book. While both Perry and Aria want nothing more than to be alone with each, they’re pushed away by the separate responsibilities tasked to them. To say these responsibilities left me frustrated at times is an understatement. I just wanted to see Aria and Perry happy together. But their tasks meant not always following what I wanted them to do, and focused more on seeing the Outsider world in completely new ways, especially when it came to running and trading with different tribes.
The biggest problem for Aria and Perry in this book is the strength of the Aether and the storms that are causing more harm than they ever had before. The Aether - a piece of the natural world, always present since a solar flare 300 years ago changed the way the world survived; and always dangerous. But the funnels - the electric fire power that attack the ground below without mercy – is a threat to everyone. There’s no escape from the destruction caused by an Aether storm. The Outsider tribes are losing food and shelter; not even the pods in Reverie can survive an attack from the Aether. The only hope is finding the Still Blue. The Aether has always interested me. I really enjoyed seeing this natural disaster problem; this powerful element destroying the world without hope of ever being fixed. I like that this is the push that makes the population want to fight for a new world. There’s no government pulling them down, no rules that need to be followed; just the natural world out to destroy. Yes, there are other people who are hoping to stand in their way of finding the Still Blue, but no-one owns them; the fight is always to stay alive first and hope for a better world second.
I was glad to be thrown into the familiar switching POVs – the same as how they were in ‘Under the Never Sky’ – changing between Aria and Perry, but different in that a lot of the novel happens when they’re apart from each other. Countless times I almost went mental, when one chapter would end with a shock, only to be thrown into the other character’s chapter that would also end with a surprising twist and I’d be torn in multiple directions emotionally; desperate to find out the consequences of Aria’s last ending, but not ready to let go of the twist from Perry’s. All the while dying for them to be together again. It was an incredibly emotional journey for me. A big part of why I love this series so much is the romance we get to see between Perry and Aria. It wasn’t quite as physical as ‘Under the Never Sky’ but the emotions were all still there. I love how strongly Aria and Perry feel for each other. Even though there were a few moments of uncertainty, I loved knowing what they felt for each other was so powerful and true. They’ve jumped up my list of favourite YA couples.
One of my favourite parts of this story was getting to see some of the side characters. While Aria and Perry are constantly thinking about each other, their separation gave us a chance to explore the people they relied on most to help them through. Aria forms a bond with Roar as they cross the country side in search of Liv and news of the Still Blue. I love Roar. He’s funny, charming and protective. You might think that if a female YA character is thrown into situation where she spends so much time alone with a guy she wasn’t originally in love with that there might be ‘love-triangle’ warnings flashing through your head. Never fear, Aria’s only got eyes for Perry and nothing could keep Roar from loving Liv. As for Perry, the group of warriors he stumbles upon in the end of ‘Under the Never Sky’ become his closest advisors; they keep him safe and in control, following him wherever he might lead – and as a struggling Blood Lord, he really needed the support. You don’t instantly think of these characters as the “main characters” but they are every bit as important to the story and I’m just as attached to them as I am Perry and Aria.
I was so sad when the book came to an end. It almost felt like I was missing more pages, even though I knew I had come to the perfect end for the book. Questions about what will happen next are still running through my mind and the wait for book #3 is probably going to kill me. I see a lot of re-reading in my future to get me through the wait.

"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 everyday, 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." - Qupte from the inside of my copy of Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi
This book lived up to all of my expectations! I was wanting this book to be as good as the first book in the series and Rossi did not disappoint! This series captivates the hearts and minds of anyone who reads it. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes sci-fi type books.
I was really sad when Aria left Perry and his tribe in search of Liv and a way to the Still Blue. I felt like Aria should have waited for when Perry could come with her. My heart broke for Roar when they found Liv alive and well, only to find out that Liv was about to get married to another man. I am always respectful of authors who aren't afraid to kill off characters, but I wish Rossi had not killed off Liv. At least for Roar's sake!! When Kirra tried to seduce Perry, I was expecting him to actually fall for it but was SO happy to learn that he didn't! Perry seams like an all around good guy who deserves to be with a strong woman like Aria.
I can't wait to see what happens in the third and final book of this series! Don't let me down Veronica Rossi! :)

“Love is a rebellious bird that nobody can tame.”
Through the Ever Night picks up after Under the Never Sky. Perry is getting used to being Blood Lord and being away from Aria. Aria is on a mission to find the Still Blue in order to save Talon. Perry and Aria's paths cross again on their quest for the Still Blue.
I really did enjoy this, nearly as much as the first one. I enjoyed the character development. Aria has become more tough, more wary and more capable of looking after herself. She really has become to accept the Outside, and no longer looks at those who live there as savage. Perry also has some development. He no longer tries to look just after himself, and his own selfish interests, but Aria's and his Tribes. Veronica Rossi really has does deserve praise for character development. I really do love them as a couple. They have to be one of my favourites. They really do love each other, even when other people get in the way, they stay faithful and that's really great. Roar was as good as ever, and I really do like his and Aria's relationship. Veronica Rossi could easily make this into a love triangle but I am really glad she didn't. There was also some good characters introduced and I hope to see more of them.
The plot was really good, with some good plot twists. If you liked Under the Never Sky then I do highly suggest you pick this up.

I really flew through this one and really enjoyed it.
Easy read, some really cool characters and none too generic.
A lot of storylines I would have liked to see in other books because REALISTIC
so all in all a really good sequel
