This was good, but no where near as good as Wolfsong. I struggled with the plot of this one. It read very Twilight supervillians to me, which while fun, didn't really engage me like I had hoped. There was perhaps too much going on and I cared much more about the romance, which took a side show to the plot unlike in the first book.
I found the recap at the beginning a bit too long-winded. While I enjoyed seeing Gordo grow up, I had a hard time telling what was in the very-past or the timeline of Wolfsong and what was in the present day. I also found Gordo's narration a bit juvenile for someone who was supposed to be older than the rest of the characters (aside from Mark). Since Klune has a very specific authorial voice (which I usually adore!), Gordo's voice read a lot like Ox's in Wolfsong which made this a little harder to believe being told by an older adult.
I still enjoyed this one but I did find the miscommunication tiring and Gordo's constant anger at Mark irritating. I felt like I better understood Mark's motivations than his actual mate which was frustrating at times.
So, while I'll continue this series for sure, I found this one a bit disappointing, certainly did not live up to Wolfsong's hype for me.

At first, Veronica Rossi’s novel, Under the Never Sky, didn’t seem to be going anywhere. There were about one-hundred pages where the plot seemed to be moving at the speed of a snail. The two narrators (it was in split-perspective) met at the very beginning informally and met again at page one-hundred-something. Personally, I thought that a book written that way should have them formally meet much earlier. Once they met, the plot picked up and I started to enjoy it. The world inside the story was quite complex, but the story itself was even more. There were points when I didn’t understand the premise of different “realms” and other ideas weren’t explained completely. Though, besides the slow beginning and confusion, I actually enjoyed the book’s middle and end a lot. I read the majority of the book in one day (and spent the previous week trudging through the first part) because I could hardly put it down. I would have given it five stars if the whole book was hard to put down. Sadly, though, it wasn’t. I also enjoyed the two protagonist’s relationship with each other and the character development involved in their relationship. I recommend this book to dystopian future fans.
