{Fangirling On} Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Future and Present collide

Have you ever loved a moment where reality seems to have a link with books, how a thing that is happening right now can one day develop to one of the things that happened in one of the books you just read?

From the beginning Aria talks about this device she has on her left eye, it helps the inhabitants of the dome cope with the limited space they live in, as soon as I read about this I thought (drum roll please) GOOGLE GLASS!!!!!! I know that in the book it looks like a jelly like substance that Aria and the other “moles” use to escape into the realms by letting them have a full experience of the place they are now virtually in.

That is how I felt when I read about the eye pieces in Under the Never Sky, I have no idea if Veronica Rossi knew about Google’s project for the Google glass, or if Google’s project will ever get to the point described on Veronica’s books.

Of berries and Perr

As this scene was ending a couple of sentences before Perry noticed the effect of what he had done I could only think

But I don’t think he would have listen how can you explain it to a character that is setting himself up? And honestly Aria’s reaction was the cherry on top of poor Perry…

“He picked up a stone and tossed it into the creek, trying to get the image of her tasting the berry out of his mind.”

The Period

I really enjoyed this part, ok it was extremely weird that Perry knew and awkward that he had to explain the situation to Aria, but it was a mix of comedy and the freaking out I got when it happened to me.

“Her mind ran in circles. She was bleeding. Like an animal”

It was as if Veronica Rossi put my feelings into words.

“Maybe she was breaking down. Malfunctioning. How would she explain this to her mother? What if she couldn’t be fixed and this happened to her again, what, every month?”

“No matter how she looked at it, menstruating was utterly barbaric”

Favorite Quote

My all-time favorite quote of this book is small and easy to remember and I love the meaning behind it “Fall off your own roof” written by Veronica Rossi embodied by the one and only Roar.

Now I can’t wait to read the short story Roar and Liv. I know, I am behind the whole Under the Never Sky phenomena but be patient with me guys I will catch up, I promise.
