Aria has made a mistake. She trusted someone she shouldn't have, and now she is exiled and ready to die on the outside. After life in a pod where there is no reason to lie - usually - and everything is provided for her, either in reality, or virtually, she has no idea how to take care of herself. Luckily for her, she has knowledge that Perry, and outsider, desperately needs. In working together, they may just form a very unlikely alliance, which leads to even more.I probably would give this book a 3.5, but I wasn't quite ready to give it four stars. I really liked that it was unique from most other dystopia books I have read. I did not like, however, that yet once again, the teenage main characters just "had" to have sex, as if there was no other choice for them, and as if there were no consequences for it. As an adult, I understand the untruth in this, but I think it is sad how subtly these kinds of things are slipped into young adult literature now a days. some good stuff, some good charactersDelphi is too good to be true and has been done in other post-apocalyptic lit, with both better and worse rationalizationsliked Aria as a character and the music connection, but her various transitions (wilderness skills/comfort, Special Talent, manner of dealing w/the authorities of her ex-home) post-Delphi are a bit too extremesort of want to continue the series, but wondering if I'm past the ya tropes.
Do You like book Under The Never Sky (2012)?
This world took me a little bit to get into but once I did, I loved it!
