Cindy's Book Review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. (Sounds similar to Veronica Roth. ;)
Book Summary: 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 energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets and 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 ke 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.

Cindy's Opinions: This book is surprisingly similar to Julia Goldings's awesome books, Dragonfly and The Glass Swallow. The only problem is that this book doesn't have the same feel: the same romance, the same sadness, and the same background. So, I'm not going to say so much, because, well, the beginning was so boring I wanted to quit reading. At least the middle got interesting, but the romance is somewhat, choppy. Julia Golding's books is a smooth hill that keeps going up or at least like stairs. This book's romance is like a speed bump. Like they find each other annoying and suddenly they get in bed or something. Either way, I find Julia Golding's books more entertained......I really like Dragonfly and The Glass Swallow. I like Dragonfly more though. You should really read it, Liana.

Rate: (1-10) 6.9
Okay, don't think wrong, but I like decimal numbers during ratings because they confuse me.

Quote Time:
"Peregrine."
Really, books come up with the weirdest names. Peregrine sounds like a girl name. At least his nickname is Perry. I like the name Perry for some reason. Probably because in other books, guys named Perry are actually pretty hot. Either way, weird name like these are actually pretty pretty. Like Taoshira, Day, June, ya know.

" 'How long is this journey?' "
Sounds like she's going to Mars. Really, how long and journey makes the destination sound like Mars. I'm so biased. To her, though, I'm pretty the destination is Mars......or a desert.

"...........worst death in the Death Shop, she decided, was rotting alone."
This sounds every way, horrible.....'worst death', 'Death Shop', 'rotting alone'

"were Marked."
Seems similar to Divergents in Divergent, and Day and June from Legend.

".....crafted Aria's DNA"
So this book obviously takes place in the future....that reminds me of the movie GATTACA I had to watch in science class.

" 'How old do you think I am, Dweller?'
'.....fifty to sixty thousand years.' "
Dang....for real? He's eighteen.

" '.....it's your first blood.' "
Ewww.....that's what they call it when you have your first period and the guy had to tell the girl that.What the heck....?

Whoop. That's it.

Cindy's Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent by Veronica Roth.
Book Summary: In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

Cindy's Summary: I'm like totally speechless. As you know, I kinda got lazy doing this book review even though the book is so good. I like already posted stuff about it, so really, I think I drained out all my excitement. Not that it's bad, I did say I was speechless.....it's really fantastic. Veronica Roth is a an awesome writer...I'm trying not to use 'good' too much and plus 'good' is not specific. These kind of books are the reason why I love romance and dystopian books so much. But seriously, I hate going down Goodreads and see being saying mean things to it. The bad advantage of being a writer. So anyways, I probably won't end up saying the summary as much because Liana mostly explained everything, so I'm probably just saying mostly opinionated stuff. 
Let's get started and see how much I could say about the summary. So first off, there is five factions: Candor, the honesty; Abnegation, the selfless; Erudite, the intelligent; Dauntless, the brave; and Amity, the peaceful. What happens if you don't get into either of these things or you get kicked out? Well, you're factionless. But what if your aptitude test shows that you qualify for two or more factions? You are a Divergent. Divergents are rare, but powerful. They can manipulate and control situations, but they are also dangerous and their future holds death....not peaceful, old-age death either. So Beatrice aka Tris finds out she's a Divergent and she qualifies for Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. Beatrice immediately crosses out Erudite, and she goes to Dauntless. She changed her name to Tris and the important part for me is that she meets Four, the number one Dauntless there is.  Divergent doesn't really show that much about society being broken apart and bad, that's more Insurgent. I think the summary for the book qualifies for the whole trilogy. Anyways, the important part is they fall in love!!!!

Rate: (1-10): 10!

So yep.......this book is kind of similar to Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Matched by Ally Condie, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and Legend by Marie Lu. The characters are all special and the setting takes place in the future and there are either Invalids, Factionless, Aborgation or something, and  Criminals and such. So yep.

Since I read this as an ebook, I can't really use post its and I use the computer outside in my living room to read it, so I don't have access of the book so, I won't do quotes.

I will do the book review for Insurgent (Divergent#2), but it probably won't be today. Maybe I can do it tomorrow at Liana's house. Or Tuesday. 

So it's reminds me, Liana and I are meeting up tomorrow!!! Whoop!

Happy Reading, 

Cindy Mai.
