Review: Into the Still Blue

INTO THE STILL BLUE BY VERONICA ROSSI
RELEASE: JANUARY 28, 2014
SOURCE: PURCHASED



Their love and their leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring balance to their world.

The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as determined to stay together.

Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have already lost.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.

In this final book in her stunning Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close.
I decided to do something different: a video review. I also decided to allow myself the opportunity to talk and discuss spoilers. Because of that, the video turned out to be pretty long, but hopefully you will enjoy listening to my thoughts on the final book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy:

Again: I will be discussing spoilers in this video. Watch at your risk.





For readers who read Under the Never and Through the Ever Night, just let me say that this was my favorite book of the trilogy. We discover things about the Still Blue, and sacrifices are made alone the way. The journey is filled with ups and downs, and spectacular character development. I've grown to love Aria, Perry, and Roar. I even grew to love Soren (believe it or not). If you haven't started this series, I suggest you do. It's a fantastic series that depicts love, overcoming prejudice, and moving on from past mistakes. It's about a journey, and the struggle to find the Still Blue. It's also a series without a love triangle. Have I mentioned that there's no love triangle? Even when she could have easily included one?

So I just want to say Thank You, Veronica Rossi, for writing these books and taking me on a wonderful journey.

  2. Aww yay I'm so glad that you loved this one! I agree, the fact that Aria and Roar never develop a romantic relationship is so great. I feel like they actually have a lot of chemistry, but the fact that Veronica doesn't allow it to go past friendship chemistry is so heartwarming and unique!

    1. Yes, it's one of my FAVORITE aspects of the book! I was so worried that Rossi would do it after a certain death in book two. But she didn't. And I think that makes their friendship seem all the better. Thanks for commenting, Eileen. You rock. <3
