Under the Never Sky

By: Veronica Rossi

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne Flagler

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.

Great book!

Any additional comments?

This story was unique and interesting and full of adventure. Parts were predictable but I still really enjoyed it. I had a hard time putting it down because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Narrator was annoying though. She sounded too old and the voices she gave some of the kids was whiny and just plain silly.

Loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes.....because I like my friends

What did you like best about this story?

The overall story line and the building of the charaters. I liked them and cared about them.

Have you listened to any of Bernadette Dunne Flagler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.She was ok, but I felt a younger narrator would have been better suited for this book. I never related her voice to any of the charaters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was hard to stop, I always wanted to know what was going to happen next....it never got boring.

Get of story!

Started off slow but ended up being a great listen. I recommend this book can't wait to listen to the next one!

It will take you on an unforgettable journey

Where does Under the Never Sky rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is by far one of the best if not the best audiobook I have listened to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Under the Never Sky?

I think the most memorable moments are the poetic ones. When the author talks about living "under the never sky" for example, that one's my favourite.And of course the beautiful love story, you cannot prepare for all the feels.

Which character – as performed by Bernadette Dunne Flagler – was your favorite?

Perry, without a doubt. He is truly an incredible person. I love how cautious he is when they meet. He doesn't trust her and they're supposed to be enemies, still he saves her life and keeps her safe. He is a person that you have to warm up to. At first he might seem cold and distant, but the more you get to know him the more you understand him. He would do anything and everything for the people he loves. He never looks down on anyone and he has the biggest heart. He is so beautiful, on both inside and outside. I sincerely wish he wasn't a fictional character because I have fallen in love with him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely! I couldn't put it down! I was up 'til after midnight listening to this book.

Any additional comments?

I pity all the people on this earth who haven't read this book, my heart goes out to all of you. You have no idea what you're missing out on.

Excellent title. Neat world-building

What made the experience of listening to Under the Never Sky the most enjoyable?

I liked the narrator. And I liked the idea of the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Roar. He's funny, strong and it's actively gunning for the main character. It's nice.

Which scene was your favorite?

I like the scene on the roof where Roar is teaching Aria how to fight and Perry is just angsting over it all.

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

Not so much. It was interesting. But it didn't rock my world.

Any additional comments?

The idea of the smart screen was very intriguing. Fancy fancy technology.
