Summary from Goodreads:
Set just before the events of Into the Still Blue, the conclusion to Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky trilogy, this breathtaking novella is a satisfying stand-alone for new readers as well as an exciting glimpse at favorite characters from the trilogy. Pulsing with romance and danger, Brooke will leave readers desperate for the conclusion to this epic and unforgettable saga.

The only fight she can't win is the one for Perry's heart. Following the stunning climax in Through the Ever Night, the Tides have been forced to seek shelter from the Aether storms in a dismal, secluded cave. But Brooke's memories of the cave go back much further, to when she and Perry used to come here together. That was before Perry fell in love with Aria and before Vale's dealings with the Dwellers altered the course of the Tides forever.

Now, with her sister back from a haunting year in captivity and Aria lying unconscious in the sick bay, Brooke struggles to put the pieces of her life back together. Without Perry, who is she? And what is her role in this frightening new world? As these questions swirl about her, an old threat to the Tides resurfaces, and Brooke is forced to put the lives of her people before her own. But in taking this step outside of herself, Brooke may finally discover what she truly wants.


  • The new perspective.  I really enjoyed hearing the story through Brooke's point of view
  • I liked how Brooke evolved and changed through the story.  She had such honest and harsh feelings made me hate her and like her at the same time.  
  • The story was well developed for a novella.  Of course I wanted more but I did actually feel like the novella added to the series. 

  • Nothing :)  It was a great short story
  • I do wish I had read a recap though.  There is no summary, the story jumps right in. 

I cannot wait for Into the Still Blue!  If you want to read a story from Brooke's perspective and jump back into the Aria and Perry's world then I highly recommend!

Hmmm....I'm not a big novella fan but I may read this one. I guess the question is whether I have to read it before I read Into the Still Blue? Glad you enjoyed it!
My recent post Stacking the Shelves (25)
I don't think you would have to read it before Into the Still Blue but it definitely picks up right after Through the Ever Night!
I'm glad you enjoyed it too! I really liked hearing things from Brooke's POV a LOT. It was so good to hear her side of the story!
I actually read this AFTER ITSB and I really think it works well either way! I think I liked reading afterwards with the little look back :)
