~ Book Review : Into The Still Blue ~

Book Twelve : Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi

WARNING : DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK ONE OR TWO click here to read my review on Under the Never Sky (book one) and Through the Ever Night (book two)

A full hour passed before the tent fell quiet again. Perry was covered in legs and arms and blankets, so hot that sweat dampened his shirt. The shoulder he'd dislocated a month ago ached beneath the weight of Aria's head, and Talon was snoring right into his ear, but he couldn't remember the last time he felt so good. 

Their love and their leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring balance to their world.

The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as determined to stay together.

Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have already lost.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.

My Thoughts : I think the Under the Never Sky trilogy is extremely underrated! This is such a beautiful and imaginative trilogy. The world Rossi created was truly unique. It did take me a while to figure it all out but once I did it all made sense. I was really excited to see how it would all conclude.

Into the Still Blue picks up right where the last book ended. Cinder had been taken by Sable's men, Aria had been shot, and Perry had got Talon back. Perry's tribe is now living in a giant cave and the storms are getting worse. The only way to survive is to find the still blue. A safe place where the storms won't destroy them. The only problem is Sable and Hess are also trying to get there. . . . . and they have Cinder. Cinder is the key to surviving the trip to the still blue. 

I did find this book to move a bit slow for me. I didn't get sucked in until page two hundred and ninety six!!! Once I read that page I was hooked!! Yes, I found the ending to be really predictable; however, it was the ending I wanted so I was one happy reader. 

This trilogy has some of the best written characters! Aria and Peregrine are wonderful main characters. They both experience an amazing character growth through the three books. I love them as individuals and I love them as a couple. I find Aria and Perry's bravery to be so inspiring. These are characters that are true to themselves and each other and I love that they never falter in that!

 I also found the supporting characters to be amazing as well. Roar is by far my favourite supporting character in a book. He is so dynamic and driven. I also loved Soren. I think Rossi wrote Soren really well. He had the potential to be a complete jerk but time after time he did the right thing. Then there is Brooke, who has such growth over the three books as well. I went from hating this girl to rooting for her in the end. There is also Caleb, Cinder, and  Loran. I loved them all and the way they interacting with each other.

I would defiantly recommend this book to all dystopian fans. It has a really interesting world and great characters. The romance between Aria and Perry doesn't overshadow the story line of the book. So I would recommend it to both male and female. I also think it is a book both those on the younger and older side of young adult would enjoy. I'm twenty eight and didn't feel it was too young. Overall, I really loved this book and gave it 4.5 stars
