I loved this little short story about Roar and Liv. It gave a nice insight on their relationship. And also, Roar is my favorite character in the books. The first person point of view was handled very nicely. Roar had a strong voice and deep characterization. Liv was also portrayed very well. I think that how she is in this novella compared to the books is vastly different. It shows how much she changed from being in the Tides to leaving to be betrothed to Sable. She was kind and caring and turned harsh and cruel like Sable. This installment has been my favorite of the book so far!

Really cute, and really sad... I hope they're reunited. I recommend reading after the first book and before the second.

Review Taken From The Pewter Wolf
This is the story about Roar, who finally finds a home within the tribe of the Tides. His best friend, Perry, is more like a brother to him and Liv, Perry's sister, is the love of Roar's life. But when Liv and Perry's elder brother (and Blood Lord of the Tides), Vale, returns from trading with another tribe and makes a decision that turns Roar and Liv's worlds upside down...
Now, this is very different from Under the Never Sky. There's no Aria in it nor do we see the Perry that we meet in Under the Never Sky. And, also, this didn't feel much like a dystopia novel. This felt more like a love story between Roar and Liv, and see if/how their love will survive after Vale's decision. And the fact that this novella was told from Roar's point of view (and not in third person like Under the Never Sky), made it very different. Instantly, you felt that connection.
If you had read Under the Never Sky, you knew where the relationship goes, but if you haven't, you hope that they will find a way to be together.
The only thing some people will find is that, if you are reading this before Under the Never Sky, that Roar doesn't explain the Aether storms. This is explained in Under the Never Sky (I believe Aria explained it to us...) but it's not explained in Roar and Liv, so I can imagine some people reading this and going "Huh?"
Now, as you guys are probably aware, I do love eNovellas. Not so much a fan of the prices. This was £1.49. While I loved reading this (I had to FORCE myself to read this over several days as I could have so easily read this in one go), I'm not 100% certain most of you guys will buy this on its price. If you're a fan of the series, you would buy it without pausing for thought. If you're new to the series, I would suspect you would pause and think over it before clicking the "Buy" button.
But I loved this eNovella. I really did. I only wish Roar's story was longer as I could have SO EASILY read more about him and Liv (write another eNovella from Roar's point of view, Veronica Rossi! PLEASE!), and the teaser chapters from Through the Ever Night made me very excited. I can not wait to see where Veronica take us next year!

I love love love LOVE novellas guys. Now I did read the first book, Under the Never Sky, before I even realized that there was a novella - I know, I made a huge mistake!! But I hope I redeemed myself because I didn't even write the review for the first book of this series yet. Nope, I definitely put a stop on that train because I just had to read this novella first!
I totally adore Perry and Aria. I also really like how you get to see a completely different side of Perry within this novella. I don't want to spoil a whole bunch from this short little book - but just know that it was beautifully written. Beautifully short too because I totally wanted more and I have a feeling that how most people feel when they are reading a novella.
I can't wait for the next book in this series! BRING IT ON!

Está es una historia corta que transcurre antes del comienzo de la trilogía, pero que es muy importante leerla especialmente al momento que nos acercamos a los eventos que pasan en el libro dos.
La pareja que hacen Liv y Roar merecían muchísimo más que lo que tuvieron
I'm in love with Roar and Liv... They're my second OTP... REALLY
