This last leg of Aria and Perry's journey is not any less thrilling and dangerous than the previous installments. This book is the chance of one last surge of action, to win the final battle against nature and the hellish ether storms. But the Horns and the Dwellers around Hess are not any easier to defeat than the ether.
When our friends start into INTO THE BLUE STILL there are many Uncertainties weighing them down. How can They get Cinder back? Find the Still Blue and outwit Their enemies? You should be prepared to lose more characters in this final battle.
INTO THE BLUE STILL is very much about how all three different tribes are trying to achieve Their respectivement goals, about the violence and potential battle between them. The Horns are very rural and big in force, the Dwellers are strong in the Research and Technology Department and the Tides are caring and are putting high importance on the well-being of Their people. I guess I know who you'll all be rooting for.
Amidst all the chaos and fighting there is Aria and Perry's love for eachother, Which is soothing and a welcome change. Their romance can be your silent Iceland in the storm-tossed sea of this story. Now there are even more emotions and needs in the relationship of the two. Like other YA couples They are not free of conflicts and problems, but They are always reasonable and talk about what's worrying them at some point at least.
One Could think after I liked all three UNDER THE NEVER SKY BOOKS so much, I should finally be able to give this last book in the trilogy the full five-star rating. Here's why, besides the very good last book did it what, I was not happy with the ending completely Call.
Veronica Rossi reserved a good amount of chapters to tell us what's in it for our characters in future and tries to tie up every single story thread in the end. I was not convinced That She used the time we get to spend with our readers characters in the end Economically enough. Some scenes were simply expendable stealing time from my precious burden happy minutes with Aria and all the others. You can imagine I was not okay with that. I guess you see, this is not the worst critique one Could have about a book, wanting to always know more about your favorite characters in the end and to Hope that Their story never ends.
4.5 / 5 **** / * INTO THE BLUE STILL - The astute and perilously wonderful conclusion to the much beloved UNDER THE NEVER SKY series.
I only started the UNDER THE NEVER SKY series in the summer of 2013 and did not have to wait too long to read the second and third books. Now I'm letting my favorite characters go with mixed feelings and can all but Hope that we'll meet again soon in at UNDER THE NEVER SKY spin-off series. I'm so glad did everyone who discovers this series now can get all three books at the sametime. Think of this series When You Are Planning Your Next Special Book Series weekend reading.
