“We have to tell each other the little things, the bad things. Maybe they’ll hurt for a while, but at least they won’t become big things. If we don’t, we’re just going to keep hurting each other. And I don’t want to do that anymore.”

I've been horrible about writing reviews for the books I've read this year. For a while I wasn't reading, but I've started to read a lot again in the last couple of months since my daughter was born. I have a lot of time while I feed her, so I've used that to read. Unfortunately I haven't kept up with my reviews, so here I am in December writing a review for a book I read in March. My reviews may not be as thorough as what I've written in the past, and I'll probably be writing well into 2015 to catch up, but I'm going to do my best to keep my promise.

Into the Still Blue was the third and final book in the Under the Never Sky series by Veronica Rossi. It was a series I found through Goodreads and to be honest I was reluctant to read the first book because of the cover, but I'm really glad I gave it a chance. Like many of the books I read, this is in the futuristic dystopian category. Aria grew up in a world protected by the elements and full of realms and technology. Perry grew up in a caveman-like society, cast out by Aria's ancestors. The two meet and fall in love in the first book and I was captivated by their love story and the world-building Rossi does so well.

In the third and final book, the pair is looking for the "Still Blue," an elusive place where the Aether storms don't exist and their people can finally be safe. The conclusion to this series was rather satisfying to me. I'll admit it's not groundbreaking writing and will definitely have you rolling your eyes on occasion, but I enjoyed it. I really liked the romance between Perry and Aria, and also the friendships they each have with Roar. The story was exciting and enchanting and I'd definitely recommend it for a fun, romantic read.
