"Aria was here."
Review: It's just not gripping me the way Under the Never Sky did. Then again, that book wasn't all that riveting to me either. I find this book to be lacking in story line so it's trying to make up for it with the love story which seems a bit forced to me. I'm trying to remember this is a young adult book so it doesn't necessarily have to have a stellar story to sell millions of copies. Unfortunately, I think my interest in the series will end with this book.
I think I would have liked it more if the relationship between Aria and Perry didn't exist. YES, I know they are the main characters and if not for their meeting in the first book there wouldn't be a need for a second and third book. However, the relationship Perry has with Cinder paralleled with the relationship Aria has with Roar, this book could actually have potential to survive. There is nothing wrong with the characters. In fact, I even like the bitchy ones because their reasoning for bad manners and terrible attitudes is understandable.
I will go back to this book and finish it, but at a much later date and time, when I feel I can give it the proper attention it deserves. Do not let my lack of interest in finishing the book at this time deter you from reading it. There is something here, I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now to pick up on it. I urge you to click on the link above for "Another Review" where I've come across a review that puts the book in a much better light and gives me hope that I will come to appreciate the book when next I pick it up.
Synopsis: 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 fi rst. 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.
