Under the Never Sky By Veronica RossiHer life had been pretty predictable up to this point. Aria had her close group of friends, her mother, Luna, and well, the Realms. Life in the Realms made everything seem fine. Until her mother has to leave their pod and go to another settlement called Bliss to do her research, leaving Aria behind. Still, not the end of the world, until contact is lost to Bliss. In an effort to find out what has happened to her mother, Aria befriends the son of the Head of Security, Soren, thinking he must know something. However, things go very wrong when Soren decides to break into a part of their pod that hasn't been used for years. He and some of the boys start a fire and then attack Aria and her friend Paisley. Out of the burning night a person appears, an outsider, who rescues Aria from Soren's attack.Recommended for mature 8th graders and up.

We discuss Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. We had to cut a large part of this episode out due to complete ineptitude on Evan's part to make good analogies. It will be uploaded as a bonus episode at the same time as this episode. Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!
We discuss Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. This was our first (and hopefully only) episode that we're recording remotely, so the audio quality on Dana's end isn't the best, and there was a bunch of intermittent background noise. Sorry about that.
Podcast Notes Erin starts us off with the boys she would love to quarantine with: Jase from Vow of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson and Bishop Lattimer from The Book of Ivy series by Amy Engel.

Jaime selects Lucky Karras from Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett and Jase from My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. Meg rounds out our choices with Peter Kavinsky from the To All the Boys I've Loved Beforeseries by Jenny Han and Four from the Divergent series by Veronica Roth.

Find Under the Never Sky at Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=under+the+never+sky First book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi, which is complete and available. This first book was published in January of 2012 by Harper Collins. As of this recording it is ranking 21, 22, and 74 on three of the Amazon Young Adult indices. It has a 4.5 Star average with 1013 reviews. The Amazon preview includes the first two chapters and I will share the first chapter on this episode. Here is the blurb from the Amazon page. Fighting to survive in a ravaged world, a Dweller and a Savage form an unlikely alliance in New York Times bestselling author Veronica Rossi's "unforgettable dystopian masterpiece" (Examiner.com). Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland—known as The Death Shop—are slim. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild—a savage—and her only hope of staying alive. A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile—everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. In alternating chapters told in Aria's and Perry's voices, Under the Never Sky subtly and powerfully captures the evolving relationship between these characters and sweeps readers away to a harsh but often beautiful world. Continuing with Through the Ever Night and concluding with Into the Still Blue, the Under the Never Sky trilogy has already been embraced by readers in twenty-six countries and been optioned for film by Warner Bros. Goodreads, which has the book at 4.1 stars, but on nearly 92K ratings has the following blurb: WORLDS KEPT THEM APART. DESTINY BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim. Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive. If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers. Here is the first chapter. It's from Aria's point of veiw: (Read Chapter) Here are my thoughts on this first chapter. I want to read on for a couple of reasons. Number one. The writing and characterization are absorbing and engaging. We gain sympathy for Aria right away. Her conflict and motivation are understandable and sympathetic. She wants to find out if her mother is still alive and well. She feels the only way to get that answer is from Soren. The author has some writing idiosyncrasies that I can overlook in the first chapter, such as, Aria does a lot of staring. She stares on three occasions. If she stares as much in the second chapter, I might get more annoyed than intrigued. Soren is self centered and manipulative and he has plans for the adventure, and for Aria, that he hasn't shared. He's a good bad guy, but I think his days are numbered. I want to find out. At the end of this chapter we see the potential for catastrophy. They have just built a bon fire in the middle of a tinder box. The second reason I want to read on is that we are told in the preview that Aria is exiled. I hope that Aria is a stronger character than this first chapter has shown. Soren threatened her that if she left, he would tell his father that this adventure was her idea. There are some problems with this threat. - There are only 6000 residents in Reverie. You can't have that few people and not know who the resident trouble makers are, or aren't. It is obvious that Aria couldn't have come up with the codes to shut off their eyes or get them through the air lock. The three boys are well known for this ability. Even if it was was Aria's idea, Soren stole the codes to break in. He didn't have to do what she suggested. He was culpable on his own. He and his friends go wild, taking off their clothes and covering themselves with mud, and then Soren brings out the battery and wire, proving that he had premeditated the idea of creating fire. If Aria suffers this much injustice from the small group, I may unable to suspend disbelief long enough to finish the rest of the book. It's a plot weakness to large for me to forgive. One other weakness with the plot is the description of Ag 6. Really. There is so much dust on the floor that Soren creates a trail through it, yet the food there appears to be only on the edge of being rotten. To me, that much dust would leave the fruit dried, the grapefruits shrivled husks. The food may have been able to be grown without leaves, soil, and much water, but the dark warehouse that the ag dome appears to be is too much of a stretch for my imagination. I give this first chapter four stars and anyone who is interested enough to start the book should be more than rewarded to read on.
