I read the first two books in this trilogy early last year and loved them. Its been a long wait for the conclusion to Aria and Perrys story, and after being disappointed with the end of the Divergent trilogy I was a little worried about this one, but thankfully it mostly lived up to my hopes.
Things are in a bit of a mess at the end of Through the Ever Night - Perry has assumed the chain of the Tides Blood Lord, Aria and Roar have returned from their journey to the Horns city, and Sable, the leader of the Horns has joined forces with some of the Dwellers from the pod city of Reverie to try to find a way to the Still Blue. The aether storms are getting worse all the time, but the only way out lies with one young boy, currently being held by the enemy.
I didnt enjoy this book as much as I loved book two. Im not sure why, exactly, but I think its because things were a little flat through the middle. Theres certainly plenty of action right from the start, but the Tides have had so much trouble sorting out their plans for the Still Blue that when it actually comes time to go, it all feels a bit anti-climactic. In some ways I would have liked a bit more to the story after the ending as well, just to see how the group pulls together or falls apart, but I think it was probably finished at a good moment before too much is known about the world outside and things become complicated again. Still, I sort of put the book down and went: Oh. Thats it?
The character relationships have become a lot more complex and they are what makes this part of the story great. Aria and Perry are so much in love that its almost painfully sweet at times. I still love Roar the most though. Its difficult to see him going through such hard times. Ill be very interested to see what Ms Rossi gets up to next, simply because I am in love with her characters!
In all, Into the Still Blue was an exciting and satisfying conclusion to this excellent trilogy. Id recommend the series to anyone looking for a fresh post-apocalyptic adventure with lovely romance and high-stakes action.
