Full review posted on Of Reading and Random Things
Through the Ever night started right where the previous book left off, and we’re immediately thrown into the action and problems that come with living under the Aether. Aria and Perry struggle with positions of leadership, making all the tough decisions and taking care of so many people. I loved Under the Never Sky, but I have to say, this book is definitely better. Sequel Syndrome? What is that?
This book is not afraid to take risks, just like its characters. The stakes are much higher and the good guys don’t always win and get the happily ever after no matter how much you’d been rooting for them. I really felt the emotions leaping at me through the pages and it just made the characters much more relatable and made me love the characters even more.
The worldbuilding in this book, I think, surpasses its predecessor and it was easier to get into the way things work. I do think that sometimes the change in POVs could be jarring because our two main characters are separated for much of the book and their chapters sometimes end on a cliffhanger. But that didn’t really bother me much and I still really loved this book.

It was ok, I preferred the first one much more. Hopefully the next one will be good, I can't wait to continue on with this story and to see what will happen.

This was even better than the first one, which is a rare occurance since the second books tend to be stretched out and boring a bit. This had all the tension and plot twists a reader could wish for. A growth for characters together and separately. The world also is structured quite nicely and everything iscaptivating and worth the read of every page. I do not know why I did not pick this up sooner, but anyways I do enjoy these books immensly. Can't wait for the final book.

I think I liked this book better than the first one tbh. A great second instalment but still not the best.
In the beginning of the book how Perry and Aria said they were going to keep their distance from each other because of the Tides was short lived. I wanted more romantic tension they weren't even apart for very long and then BOOM they just couldn't bare the distance any longer. I feel like if they were apart for a while longer it would've made their connection a lot stronger.
I feel like it kinda got repetitive as well with the attacks and Aether storms although I do understand that they were added because it kept the storyline going.
I cannot believe Perry actually let Kirra get so close and just do what she wanted. He wasn't cautious enough, the whole time I did not trust her one bit and I knew it was a recipe for disaster. I actually expected him to keep a close eye on her but he didn't really.
This novel I actually found myself looking forward to the Aria chapters. The ongoing eyepiece meet ups with Soren was something I didn't expect I actually didn't think we would see him at all in this book.
And the whole situation in Rim.....Roar MY POOR BABY! If Aria hadn't been a stubborn bitch and taken the eyepiece out sooner then I swear Liv would've survived. FUCK. I was looking forward to seeing the cute humorous relationship between Liv and Roar that we were told about but I never got to see it! I felt so bad for Roar because I love him so much and then when Perry let Kirra get into his head about Roar and Aria being together! WTF PERRY?! THEN YOU JUST GO AND SHOVE MY BABY WHEN YOU SEE HIM AGAIN?! I actually really hated Perry in that moment. And Perry was going on and on about seeing Aria again and then when they finally found each other again they didn't even hug? Disappointed.
TBH I thought the ending was so rushed just like the ending to the first book. I feel like Veronica Rossi drags out the middle of her books and then rushes the ending. She needed to SLOW DOWN. It was too much for me I couldn't catch up.
Over all an awesome book and it definitely set up for a phenomenal finale.

Excellent sequel despite the behaviour of that almost-cheating bastard Perry. Can't wait the next book. Highly recommended!
