Ahhh. This series made it on my favorite reads this 2014! Fantastic. Absolutely brilliant. I love how Veronica tied it up. Of course, authors nowadays love to kill really good characters but it's fine anyway because she did a really good job with story. Love you Veronica!
How is this book not out yet???
I loved this book. It was the perfect end to a fabulous series. It is rare that the third book of a trilogy is as satisfying as the first, but Rossi hit the nail on the head. Love it!

4.5 stars
After reading Under the Never Sky and its brilliant follow up Through The Ever Night, I have grown so attached to Aria, Perry and Roar and their entire world that by the time I reached Into the Still Blue, I've completely lost the ability to think critically about their story. I've fallen in love with them and consider them to be friends, so honestly, how can I judge anything about them or their journeys. Thus, I'm struggling to know exactly what to tell you about this book, because it seems like a disservice to them to start talking about things like plotting and pacing (not that I really do that anyway). I mean, Perry and Roar are real, right?
What I do want to tell you, is that if you enjoyed the first two books in this series, you're going to love Into the Still Blue as well. I've been wary of series conclusions lately, but this is not one that you should fear. Not only are our favorite characters back, but we also get answers to lingering questions.
This series features one of my favorite love stories. More than tender moments or hot kisses (although those are present and quite nice), we have seen a connection build and deepen between Perry and Aria over the course of the series. Their relationship has been tested, but their respect for each other and bond has grown steadily stronger without adding unnecessary drama or angst. Their relationship has made them each more confident as leaders and able to make tough choices, which they do to abundance in this story. Even when Perry and Aria are not together - or when they're disagreeing - they manage to remain in sync in a way that many couples can't manage on their best days.
In addition to romance, Rossi excels at creating one-on-one relationship bonds between many characters. The friendships between Perry & Roar and Aria & Roar are the most notable in this series, and both get some great page time in this story. But there are several others that stand out to me in this installment. Some that cropped up unexpectedly, some I was excited to see deepen and at least one broke my heart. I want to tell you about all of them, but most are spoilers. However, this has become one of my favorite aspects of this series and Into the Still Blue specifically.
The end of Perry, Aria and Roar's journey is not easy. This book nearly broke me in several places. Rossi does not hold back on what she puts these characters through, especially through the middle part of this book. There were several points where I was biting my nails and genuinely worried about whether key players would make it. Nothing is certain, lives are at stake, and an entire community of people is in danger of extinction unless they can make it to the Still Blue.
Some parts of this book were big and dramatic, some events seemed quieter than I thought they would, but I think that's what life is like for real, and I like this book more, because of that. Into the Still Blue, goes out on a quiet note, and though selfishly I wanted more and more, I closed this book with a satisfied smile.

I thought I would get the whole series before I even read the first book and I'm glad I did as I ended up reading the whole series one after the other which I hardly ever do.
Out of the three covers I think that this one is my least favourite as I don't like the colours, however, I do prefer the patterns that are in the background more than the other books.
There was a little time missing from this book to the last book but not by many weeks so I didn't mind plus Rossi explained what had been happening. I think this book is my favourite of the series as there was so much happening keeping me on the edge of my seat with no dull moments. I would say that this one out of all of the series was the saddest book but I didn't mind as there was a little humour to make it a less depressing read. There was a bit more romance in this book which I loved as it was written so well you just knew that these two characters where meant for each other plus we got to see more of an interaction between them unlike the other books. I'm in two minds about the ending as I did love some of the outcome but there was a few bits that I felt was left unanswered which was why I couldn't give it the five stars I had wanted to up until the ending.
More growth for pretty much each of the characters. Aria showed just how strong of a person was and even through she seemed to cry more in this book I still feel like she was a stronger person. In each of the books Perry has shown a new side of himself and this is no different as he showed a vulnerable side to himself this time. Roar started off like he had at the end of the last book but by the end he started to go back to the Roar we all know and love.
Overall a good ending to a brilliant series I just wish that I had all the answers to some of the unanswered questions.

E sono arrivata in fondo anche a questa trilogia.. Direi una buona conclusione, tutto sommato, ma forse non al livello dei primi due libri.
La storia scorre bene, ma mi รจ mancato quel momento in cui ti fermi con il libro (reader, in questo caso) tra le mani, lo osservi e urli "CHE COSAAAA?!"..
Succede sempre quello che ti aspetti succeda (cosa non troppo positiva), i personaggi restano fedeli a se stessi fino alla fine e non si mettono a fare cose a caso solo per lasciare il lettore di stucco (cosa positivissima invece!!).
Proprio i personaggi e le "relazioni" tra di loro per me sono la vera forza di questa storia.. A partire da Aria e Perry, in cerca del loro happy ending, ma soprattutto Roar e Perry (best Bromance ever!), Aria e Roar.. E poi Soren, Brooke, Cinder, tutti hanno conquistato un angolino del mio cuore.
Per non parlare di Sable e Kirra che ho odiato con ogni fibra del mio essere..
