Book Review: Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi

Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky #3) by Veronica Rossi
Genre: Young Adult (Dystopian Romance)
Date Published: January 28, 2014
Publisher: HarperCollins

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.

Within the confines of a cave they're using as a makeshift refuge, they struggle to reconcile their people, Dwellers and Outsiders, who are united only in their hatred of their desperate situation. Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. Then Roar arrives in a grief-stricken fury, endangering all with his need for revenge.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble an unlikely team for an impossible rescue mission. 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.

In this final book in her earth-shattering Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close. 

Into the Still Blue is the third and final book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi. I enjoyed this trilogy so much more than I thought I would. I thought I'd read another dystopian story and be just kinda "meh" about it, but this one was very well thought out and put together. The societies within the trilogy are complex, as are the characters. I can't give much detail without giving away spoilers, but I'm happy with how it all ended. I'm attached to these characters, especially Roar. He grew on me more and more with each book. I think he needs his own story. I'd like to know how his life turns out.
