5 stars
Actually this whole series deserves more than 5 stars.Veronica Rossi deserves more recognition for the setting she has created in this futuristic dystopian series.Her strength are her characters that complement each other in a great manner and are successful in remaining in our hearts for a long time.The relationships that are built within these three books are very believable and this is one of the reasons why I have come to adore these books.Aria,Perry and Roar are great leads.I have not done a review on the second book,Through The Ever Night,so I should mention that the characters were beautifully developed in the second book.The dilemma that Aria and Perry face,that is the choice between Love and Loyalty,right and wrong made the story very realistic.The friendship between Aria and Roar,for me,tops other relationship written in this series.The way these two characters support each other really shows one of the greatest friendships written in fantasy literature.And this relationship works because there is no romantic notion between these two characters.Another thing I really liked about this trilogy is that there was no sappy love triangle between the characters.The pure romantic relationship between Aria and Perry is best left unharmed by any other third wheel.It is so much better that Rossi stayed away from that path.
I have already mentioned in my earlier review that Roar is my favorite character and my fondness for him grew more in the last two books of the series.We get to see his somber side in the second and third book and I truly sympathized over him.Even though I had disliked Soren in the first book,I loved him and his arrogant attitude towards the outsiders in the other books.As I said these books have developed great characters,and it is because each and every one has their own individuality.Molly,Willow,Talon,Cinder,The six,Marron,Brooke,Caleb are all lovable characters.Sable,who may not be the most vicious villain of all time is very manipulative and clever which makes him a great negative character.
This all adds to the fact that Veronica Rossi is one of the best fantasy writers.I love the world she has created and the characters she has developed.And I appreciate that the second and the third books did not let down the first book.The third book gave a good conclusion to the whole series and this series is in fact a must read to dystopian fans.
