Even worse, a bit of tech he took from her brings Reverie's soldiers after him, during which attack they kidnap his nephew. Ultimately, though, this condemns both of them to expulsion from their respective homes, him from his tribe, The Tides, and her from the Pod. Peregrine, desperate and searching for a way to save his nephew's life, breaks into Reverie just in time to save Aria. She has observed some weird behavior from him before, but did not think better of going somewhere with him. This first section made it difficult for me to relate to Aria, not so much because she found herself in a bad and stupid situation, but that she should have seen it coming. Little does she know what a creep Steldor and his dad are. To do so, she befriends Soren, the son of a powerful man in Reverie, hoping to lure the information from him. Having lost contact with her mother due to network issues for longer than usual, Aria decides to investigate. She has no issues with her life, except for her worries about being separated from her mother, a doctor working on a project in another Pod. Most of her life is spent in the Realms, complex simulations that are thought to be even better than the real world. Aria lives in Reverie, a Pod, safe from the aether outside. Under the Never Sky is told in third person from the perspectives of Aria and Peregrine (aka Perry). For whatever reason, I was pretty sure this was going to be another instalove dystopia, but I'm glad to say that it's definitely not that. I feared this would be another disappointment, with a trap of a cover. I nearly ordered a copy for myself a couple of times, but, ultimately, decided against it. When Under the Never Sky first came out, I was really excited, hoping to love it. Originally reviewed on A Reader of Fictions.
