This book was perfect. It was just as enrapturing as the first two with never a dull moment and was the great end to the series. Under the Never Sky now officially has a spot in my list of favourites!

The story felt stretched out to me. I wanted things to move along quicker. Also there was a lot of violence and death in this book, more than other YA books. I was pleased with the ending and some unanswered questions along the way.
Awesome end to this trilogy! Well, there's some sad stuff. But lots of happy stuff too. I love these books.
El primer libro de esta trilogía me gustó, el segundo también pero con este tengo mis dudas.
Me gustó, eso sí, pero no me encantó. Sentí que le hizo falta un montón de desarrollo a la historia. También se me hizo algo lento a comparación de sus antecesores.
No puedo darle menos de 3 estrellas porque apesar de lo que no me gustó, hubo partes realmente buenas y Rossi una vez más logro enamorarme con la relación de Aria y Perry.

Into the Still Blue was easily my favorite of the trilogy. I loved the relationship between Aria and Perry and how it just grew deeper and stronger throughout the book. Still love Roar and I love how there is NEVER any sexual tension between him and Aria and they are just fantastically good friends. THANK YOU, VERONICA ROSSI.
The book was just phenomenal. I never felt a lull and things were always moving forward. The pacing was perfect and the character development was excellent.
The end was SCARY. Not scary-scary, but I was really nervous for everyone towards the end. Perfect suspense.
I feel so happy with the way the series ended and I'll be sorry to say goodbye to this series and these characters but I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
Full review originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 12/27/13: INTO THE STILL BLUE was the perfect finale to the Under the Never Sky trilogy. If you haven't started this series yet, after having finished all three books (and two novellas!), I can tell you to GO BUY THEM. I feel like it's been a long time since I've had such a positive outcome on a series as a whole and the last book in a series so to say that I fell in love all over again with INTO THE STILL BLUE is really saying a lot for me!

Veronica Rossi's writing grows leaps and bounds throughout the series. UNDER THE NEVER SKY was absolutely gorgeous but the plot arcs, character development, and overall beauty of her writing amazes me with each sentence of hers that I read. Her words make me feel emotional, ethereal, and makes me say things like "my heart is floating" because that's honestly what I felt like. I stopped several times just to admire the way she strings words and phrases together, not to mention the amazing relationships and friendships that she creates between the characters. Speaking of which...
It will be hard to say goodbye to Aria, Perry, Roar (<3) and the rest of the characters I've grown to know and love in this series, but I'm also 100% satisfied where everyone was left at the end of the book. I remember feeling relatively lukewarm about Perry and Aria's relationship in UNDER THE NEVER SKY because I just hadn't fallen into their rhythm yet. I had always liked the two of them as characters (well, Aria had to grow on me JUST a bit) but their relationship really started to mesh for me in THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT and I absolutely melted in INTO THE STILL BLUE. Everything about their relationship, their love, their struggles just felt so real and I really made a significant connection with both of them.
We all know that I love Roar so of course I loved seeing more of him in INTO THE STILL BLUE again. We see a much different side of him and I won't go into detail since that would be a major spoiler for THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT, but it's quite interesting to see his interactions with his friends and tribe based on the events that happened in that book. And can I just say... *stands up and applauds Veronica Rossi* THANK YOU SO MUCH for NOT making an Aria-Perry-Roar love triangle!!!! I LOVED the friendship between Aria and Roar. They have a real connection with both of them being Auds and they really form a bond over that in addition to their already easy friendship. Roar wasn't quite brotherly but he also was not a romantic interest and I am so happy for it because while I wouldn't say a love triangle would have ruined the series, it would have definitely not been the same. I appreciated that friendship so much and it's absolutely one of my favorite parts of these books.
INTO THE STILL BLUE really kept me hooked the whole time. Things were always happening, the action was always moving forward, and there were some really neat plot developments that surprised and impressed me! I actually didn't even brush up on the series before I picked this one up but the fact that I read THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT about a year ago (almost exactly a year ago, actually!) really didn't make it difficult. It was easy to pick up where book two left off and of course I didn't remember ALL of the details, but Veronica Rossi does a great job at helping the reader pick up the little things that may have gotten lost over the year gap between books.
I was actually really worried about the ending! Nervous, excited, panicked... It was so excited and yet so scary and all of my emotions were right on the surface! I was reading with little glistening tears in my eyes, afraid for what was going to happen to the characters in this series finale! With it being the last book, you just never know what might happen so I was nervous but the book wrapped up perfectly and I couldn't imagine it ending any other way.

This book was wonderful - intense, surprising, emotional, and, ultimately, satisfying. I couldn't be happier with how Rossi chose to end this series.
