Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3)

by Veronica Rossi

Into the Still Blue is a good ending to this trilogy. While I've enjoyed it from the beginning, this series is an odd one for me. I like it, and I found all three books to be completely addicting, reading them each straight through, but it's not very memorable. Much like with Through the Ever Night, there isn't much recap and I only remembered the big things that happened previously. The plot picks up where it left off and dives right into the new conflicts. Aria and Perry are back together and refuse to let the other out of their sights, even as they conduct their rescue mission and plot a way to get to the Still Blue.

As far as series enders go, Into the Still Blue is a good one. There's never a dull moment, and it keeps pace from beginning to end. The outcome also isn't easy. Aria, Perry and their allies face a lot of hardships, and there are some unexpected deaths, so not all together a happy ending. But happy enough. I liked how the story didn't just end with them finding the Still Blue. Once they get there, there are still some important problems for them to overcome. I would actually love a spinoff series to see what life is like there.

There isn't much for me to say about Into the Still Blue. I liked it, but wasn't blown away. I did read it in one sitting because the story flows well and never stalls. I always wanted to know what was coming (or what that idiot Soren would do!). My only real complaint is that I wanted a stronger romance. Aria and Perry were cute, but I really just didn't care about them as a couple. I was much more interested in their friendships with Roar, which I think was the most well done part of the entire series.
