UNDER THE NEVER SKY is a story filled with romance, action, and feelings. The characters in this beautifully written novel leave me speechless. Aria is a main character that I can't help but love. She is a girl with mother issues, a girl who sometimes has a chip on her shoulder, but also a girl who sticks up for herself and overcomes her obstacles. Aria and Perry, her travel companion/savage/boy with gorgeous eyes, are put in rough situations. They are facing loss and possibly even death, but both keep fighting to save their own families. Their courage and surprising weakness put them on a level all too relatable and all too enjoyable to read about.

Veronica Rossi spins an excellent plot to match her unforgettable characters. The first scenes open up with near immediate action, and the story never falters from that. The transitions between major plot points are alive and flowing with character development and a progressive romance that takes my breath away and leaves no room for boredom or loss of interest. All of it is backed up with lovely secondary characters, my favorite being Roar, Perry's friend. He is snarky and hilarious, and I hope to see more of him in the next book.

What blows me away beyond the plot and the characters in general is the relationship between Perry and Aria. Rossi gives stunning looks into their characters that match the progression of their getting to know each other. Each reveal and discovery is smoothly done and an immense pleasure to read. They are far from predictable and make choices that thoroughly surprised me.

UNDER THE NEVER SKY is now on my list of favorites. I am happily invested in this incredible start to a YA series, and I cannot wait to read more of Aria and Perry and their extraordinary adventures.
