Overall Rating: 4
stars
Addiction Level: I
ignored the hubby and puppy until I finished it.
Believe-ability: The
setting is believable.
Dystopia Factor: The
world has been turned upside down and all hope is lost, but maybe our
hero/heroine can save it.

Perry and Aria had to go their
separate ways in Under the Never Sky. For both of them it was a coming of age
story. Both have a better idea of who
they are. Their maturity continues in Through the Ever Night. Who knew being thrown out of their homes
would be for the turning point for each?
Oftentimes I am frustrated when
authors write in multiple perspectives.
I am not convinced the narrator changed.
Rossi uses third-person point of view very well. Though the story alternates between Perry and
Aria’s point of view, I am never confused or annoyed at the prose. Instead I have to keep reading.
I liked the character development
of both Perry and Aria. Perry struggles
to rule as the new Blood Lord. As he
makes unwise choices, the characters and I cringe. It is satisfying to see him struggle and then
come out triumphant.
Though Aria is younger than Perry and
newer to the “outside,” she is a more mature character. She sees the bigger picture and is a good
match for Perry despite what the tribe may think. Perry saved Aria in Under the Never Sky, but she saves him in Through the Ever Night. In
the end they prove to be a good match, both committed to one another.
The journey is not over yet. It will continue, and I desire more! Right now!
Can Perry and Aria save the tribe before the aether destroys
everything? Will their love survive this
time? Can I survive the wait until next
year for the conclusion?
