This past Saturday, I headed over our snow-less Sierra Mountains to join a number of Nevada SCWBI authors in celebrating the launch of Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky. And what a fabulous party. It was so fun to see fellow bloggers, too, like Two Chicks on Books.
If you haven't picked up Veronica's book, oh my gosh, don't wait. I listened to the audiobook on my drive over and back and let me tell you, Mundie Moms, you guys have to meet Aria, Perry (HotBoywithArrows) and oh my, my...Roar. Trust me on this.
I'm actually not reading another book immediately because I want to let it all simmer in my brain for a while. I simply adore the world Veronica created -- scary, political and romantic. Did I say romantic?? Oh yeah. Sooooo romantic and it's all so realistically played out. But that ending? It's just...unbelievably perfect.

Benji - Seriously, I've yet to pick up another book. It's been 48 hours. I think I just want to stay in Veronica's world for a bit more.
Just finished this and LOVED it. The end made my heart stop, it was totally unexpected, definitely left me wanting more! Thank you for the great suggestion, now if only I didn't have to wait a year to see what happens :-).
ReplyDeleteMelissa - The wait is the worst part. But, ooooooh that ending.
