Publisher's summary

It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.

Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.

Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least at first. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?

Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder: Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure - and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

Way beyond my expectations! Amazing sequel

Let me start by saying I absolutely loved this one! I'm always nervous that the 2nd book in a trilogy will just be filler with no real substance. Well this book is no filler!
There is just as much action, heartbreak, romance, character development, pulse-pounding excitement and adventure as Under the Never Sky. I couldn't put this one down!
At first it took me awhile to adjust to the new male narrator. To me it just gave this book a different vibe then the first. Of course it doesn't help much that I didn't care for his narration (too flat in my opinion). However, the book is so good that it didn't really matter once the story got going.
If you loved Under the Never Sky then you will absolutely love this one too. Just be warned that it will leave you anxious for book 3.

PLEASE bring back Bernadette Dunne Flagler!

What did you like best about Through the Ever Night? What did you like least?

I wish I had something constructive to say but alas, I am just going to rant about the narrator at this point. If you loved the narration on "Under the Never Sky", be very wary of this book.

I thought "Under the Never Sky" was one of the best listens I've ever had from Audible. Bernadette Dunne Flagler was AMAZING - she just did an amazing job performing that book. I was SO, SO looking forward to hearing her again on this sequel.

Well, they didn't bring her back, for whatever reason. (Only DEATH would be a good enough reason, to my mind, and I certainly hope and pray THAT wasn't the case!)

I am about fifteen minutes into the MUCH anticipated "Through the Ever Night", and already I can envision myself bashing my head against my keyboard in frustration and misery.

This narrator is TERRIBLE! And he doesn't pronounce "Scire" correctly! He says it "sire"...in the first book it clearly says that it is supposed to sound kind of like "scare". Rrrgghh! I can't stand narrators who don't do their research! And he .... reads.... so ....freakin' .... slowly! It just sounds so fake. Sigh. Weep. Weep. Sob.

Sniff.

What did you like best about this story?

Will update this review when (IF) I can make it through this audiobook. I hope I can hear past the narrator and get into the story so I can actually FIND something to like.

What didn’t you like about Michael Goldstrom’s performance?

Was there anything TO like about this "narration"? So unemotional, so fake...no feeling of really being WITH the characters, as in the first book. I feel like someone is reading to me, not like I am INSIDE another world. He makes the characters sound childlike and goofy.

Aria is read as though she is a total melodramatic, wussy ...CHICK.

Perry is read like he is about fifteen and a little mentally challenged. Totally NOT sexy.

Bring back the narrator from "Under the Never Sky"!!!! Tears on my laptop keyboard.

Did Through the Ever Night inspire you to do anything?

Stab my ears with a sharpened pencil.

Any additional comments?

Get Bernadette Dunne Flagler to reprise this book! PLEASE get Bernadette Dunne Flagler back and rerecord this book so that it can be worthy of the first one! PLEASE!

even better than the last one

Would you consider the audio edition of Through the Ever Night to be better than the print version?

I read the book in five hours and thought it was amazing. So well written and such a compelling storyline. middle books are often fillers, this was not. it was action packed and full of great stories that will link the two books on each side together. now I get to listen to it on audio which gives me another experience and I love to hear the story with another voice. especially as I'm female and English and the narrator is male and American! brilliant!

What other book might you compare Through the Ever Night to and why?

hard to directly compare books but there's shades of a lot of books, Logan's run comes to mind as does a number of other dystopians but for quality of writing, it is way out there.

Which character – as performed by Michael Goldstrom – was your favorite?

I'm sure I'm not alone having a soft spot for Roar who gets some real ink time in this book, bless him and of course Perry and Aria are still adorable too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

a few actually but without giving away spoilers I will choose a benign one. the turtle falcon!

Any additional comments?

I very rarely post reviews, a book has to be rather special for me to gush about it.

MUST keep reading!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cinder!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book kept me involved, on edge, happy, sad, angry and had me laughing. This trilogy has it all. Worthy read!

Any additional comments?

The first book was a little slow trying to set it all up but then its fast pace and on edge the whole time. I finished in one setting.

interesting story, slow motion narration

What did you like best about Through the Ever Night? What did you like least?

The storyline is very interesting.I like the different "worlds" that come with completely opposite ways of living. Also it is fascinating how the character of Aria is dealing / changing with being outside "her world".
I'm not finished with the audiobook yet due to the narrator... Although I very much would like to know what happens next in the story, I just HAVE TO take a break after about 20 minutes listening to that narrator - either because I'm about to fall asleep while waiting for him to finish one tiny sentence or because I'm getting too annoyed (almost aggressive) with the SLOW PACE and EMOTIONLESS narration! It's sad really, that a different performer wasn't picked to tell the story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Goldstrom’s performances?

His performance is tempting me to NOT finish this audiobook - that should say it all...

Could you see Through the Ever Night being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes, definitely I can see a movie coming. And I leave it up to HOLLYWOOD to decide on the stars:)

Lukewarm

I read book one a while ago and just felt lukewarm about it. There was nothing that I couldnt stand. The realms were interesting and some of the ideas but the story never had me sucked in so much that I "couldnt put it down". I feel the same way about book 2. Overall listening while driving was enough to entertain me but it wasnt something that I was dying to get back to every time I was in the vehicle. I wouldnt say dont read it but I would say dont expect a riveting story. Its a good in-between book.

Narrator killed it for me.

Would you listen to Through the Ever Night again? Why?

Yes. It is a good story, though not as compelling as the first one.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters.

What aspect of Michael Goldstrom’s performance would you have changed?

He seemed to read most of the story with less expression than the narrator of the first book. I wish she had been able to read it this time, too. He had sort of a monotone compared to her. Perhaps that is why I did not like this story as much as the first book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Rescuing the nephew and the other people. It was touching and suspenseful.

Any additional comments?

Please get the first narrator again for sequels.

Great book!

I really love this series. it is passionate and so well written.
Start with Under the Nerer Sky (book 1) which is also brilliant! If you can read the novella 'Liv and Roar Under the Never Sky' I would read it first, but you don't have to read the novella to understand book 2 if you have read book 1. It is not on audible.com, but it is pretty short and it really gives you a nice background.
I didn't love the narrator, but he wasn't distracting bad or anything.

Romance isn't always easy

The second story of this (planned) trilogy is just as good as the first. Aria and Perry find that love doesn't smooth over all the bumps in the road, and there are plenty of bumps for them. Their love story helps to bring together the Dwellers and the Outsiders, though mostly they are kicking and screaming all the way! I'm looking forward to the next story. I just hope that the original narrator returns. Michael did an adequate job, but I got irritated at some of the mispronunciations.

Awesome series, narration for this one is lacking

What a great follow up to the first novel! Gripping story and characters. New narrator for this book wasn't great - read VERY slow. At times I wondered if my app stopped working because he would pause so long between sentences. The voices he did for the female characters sounded nasally false - took a while to get used to. Still worth a listen!
