Summary
Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.
Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.
A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

Review
First of all, I need to start off by mentioning the writing. This book was really well written. Beautiful at times. The descriptions throughout the story as smelled through Perry... simply beautiful. Yes I say "smelled" because that's what Perry did. He smelled things... and his descriptions of those things are still sticking with me even after the book is over! I've read books that describe the world in such detail that I can almost see it in my head... but being able to practically smell it... well that's a whole new kind of amazing. The story itself was entirely unique and new to me. Loved it for that. The fact that the story was told through both Perry and Aria's view and being able to see things from both sides gave the story so much more depth.I guess you could say I really liked this book, from start to finish! Never a dull moment. It kept me reading, turning the pages, waiting and wondering what happens next. Throw in those hints of romance and you've got a five star rating from me. It truly deserved it! :)
I was really excited for this book. I won an arc. I then started seeing mixed reviews, and my arc got lost in the mail so I never got it. I have yet to actually buy it now, but you make it sound fantastic. Thanks for the great review.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked! I did too. The reviews are generally very good but I am amazed that some people just don't get it! I love your reviews. They simple and direct!
ReplyDeleteThanx! I try to make my reviews short and to the point.. basically because those are the only reviews I myself will read :)
