surprisingly good 32

"Under the Never Sky" is one of the books, the way it was me in the similar hunger games trilogy, have very pleasantly surprised. Currently, there are a lot of books about dystopian worlds, but Under the Never Sky nevertheless stands out from pleasing them.
This has the following reasons:
A part of humanity lives under domes, hermetically sealed from the outside world. You use so-called Smart Eyes, with which they can dive into virtual worlds. There, everything feels almost like the real thing, although it is not natural. The technology of Smart Eyes that are worn on the eye, as a logical development seems to me to be all that it's all available from us. The immersion in virtual worlds there with us also, just need the people in this story any external devices, they wear it as an extension ihrers body around with you.

Aria is one of those people who no longer know that boulder in reality all look different. You will be an unfortunate chain of events (I will not reveal too much) from their homeworld in the Death Shop, the rough, hostile environment outside the dome, cast out. There she meets a 18-year-old boy, whom she initially sees only as a wild, uncivilized people. And Peregrine met Aria initially very defensively.

I really liked how it is the author managed to portray the clash of these two very different people. And of course the two come closer also. The special gimmick is that the reader gets to know the characters so how the other person experiences them. Because the narrative alternates in the two-Aria Peregrine narrative perspectives. Only in this way can be experienced in an original way, why Peregrine Aria not initially underestimated. They are in those people who have special gifts, such as the sense of smell and the particularly good visibility even in the dark. And Aria initially smells anything but attractive. It's very funny to see how Peregrine's attitude suddenly changed, which happened while he teaches Aria in the wilderness, how to recognize edible berries. Since I had very smile and was very captivated by the story.

Under the Never Sky provides three-dimensional, multi-layered characters. Both are very nice in their own way. While Aria is initially quite weak, but soon learns it and is quite a very lovable person. Although she speaks pretty much from the perspective of Peregrine and hums often to himself. He is the first of overkill, after all, he is actually a taciturn fellow. It was very heartwarming to witness how Peregrine got used increasingly Aria. With horror I realized that the continuation will only appear in early 2013. I would very happy to immediately read and learn more about Peregrine's tribe, the ether storms and life in Death Shop.

I had to read a lot of fun because the characters were like real people, they lived and let the story be wonderfully alive. More of that!
