Dear Veronica Rossi,
I'm a huge fan of your Under the Never Sky trilogy. I feel like you took the idea of the newly-made-"classic" "teen-dystopia-romance" novel and truly made it your own. I have read the first two books already; I tore through them so fast and then I was depressed because I had to wait for Into the Still Blue to come out.
As far as the first book goes, I love the way you introduced your trilogy's protagonists, Aria and Perry. I love how in the beginning of their stories you showcased how they were polar opposites and how each of them felt that way about the other. Progressively throughout the book they began to see what the other possessed (dictionary definition of "opposites-attract", am I right?) that could help them with the task at hand.
Leading into the second book, there was a lot of time for character development, as for the majority of the time Aria and Perry spent time apart. I have to say that I realize the overall reasoning behind this, however I along with probably the rest of your readers had a period where I was slightly annoyed that they were still apart, and in reading what they were thinking about how both of them missed the other, you wanted to scream and say "Why can't one of you just go after the other already!?"... I'm sorry, I'm rambling.
I have yet to finish Into the Still Blue, however I am at a very critical turning point for Perry and Aria regarding their passage into the Still Blue, and the possible ramifications of their means of getting through the Aether wall (you're the author, so for the benefit of readers I won't include any more possible spoilers;) ).\
I'll need to finish the book soon and see how it ends! (no, like I REALLY need to finish this book because I think the library probably already hates me because it's a 14 day borrow and I may be just a smidge over... oops...)
Wow - seems like a great read! I'll consider it for my next book!
