Under the Never Sky

By Veronica Rossi


YA dystopian fiction or fantasy? This one crosses the border between the two. I almost put this down after the first chapter because of it, but I am glad I kept reading. This is an imaginative story which has many interesting and unpredictable features even though in some way it follows the predictable format these novels can get bogged down in. 


This story begins in a seemingly perfect, protected world where everyone lives in "realms" (virtual realities) through eye pieces that act as their connected computer projecting simulations at the same time as one interacts in the real world. 


This protected world is cracked open as one girl discovers with vast and frightening world outside. As she faces her fear and forces herself to survive, she also finds more than she expected in friendship, real vs. virtual experienced and, yes, supernatural powers. 


Book 27
