Summary
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.
Review
I thought this was actually a pretty fun read. Under the Never Sky definitely runs with the dystopian trend of the last few years. There is fighting with metal weapons and (gasp) bows, which sounds a bit familiar. The story as a whole was very imaginative. The earth is a wasteland filled with outsiders who have developed mutations in order to survive. Aria has lived in a dome called Reverie her who life. One of the coolest things about the book was the inclusion of the "realms", which basically are virtual worlds that you can travel to. The theme of family was also very important. The story was fast paced and engaging with a great plot twist at the end. The only thing I didn't like was the hurried romance. It didn't seem to have time to develop.
3 out of 4 stars
