Before Perry and Aria, there was Roar and Liv.

After a childhood spent wandering the borderlands, Roar finally feels like he has a home with the Tides. His best friend Perry is like a brother to him, and Perry's sister, Liv, is the love of his life. But Perry and Liv's unpredictable older brother, Vale, is the Blood Lord of the Tides, and he has never looked kindly on Roar and Liv's union. Normally, Roar couldn't care less about Vale's opinion. But with food running low and conditions worsening every day, Vale's leadership is more vital--and more brutal--than ever. Desperate to protect his tribe, Vale makes a decision that will shatter the life Roar knew and change the fate of the Tides forever.

Set in the harsh but often beautiful world of Veronica Rossi's "unforgettable" Under the Never Sky (Examiner.com), this captivating prequel novella stands on its own for new readers and offers series fans a fascinating look into the character of Roar. Poignant and powerful, Roar and Liv is a love story that will "capture your imagination and your heart." (Justine on Under the Never Sky)

I'm not sure if I did these out of order, or if I did them right. I read this one first because it was the prequel book. I kind of loved the characters and the lay out a whole lot (which led me to some problems when I slammed book one). I loved the mysterious culture, the power struggle, everything. I was really pumped to push into the novel after this book. ( )

Want to know if the whole series is worth reading? Read my overall review of the whole series at seriesousbookreviews.com! Spoiler Free!

I recommend reading this AFTER [b: Under the Never Sky|17616704|Brooke (Under the Never Sky, #2.5)|Veronica Rossi|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1379876478s/17616704.jpg|24580176]. This prequel doesn't really explain the world the novels are set in so it helps to be familiar with the world before starting this. I also feel like it spoils a bit of the plot for Under the Never Sky and if you enjoy having plot lines revealed to you as you read, then don't read this one right away!

I liked this, but it is definitely a companion piece rather than a test the waters piece. It could be stand alone, there is enough explanation for that, but know that there is another half of the "world" that isn't even mentioned in this short story that is a main part of the larger novels. ( )

Love these characters so much :) Roar and Perry's friendship is awesome. ( )

I went into this novella without having read any of the rest of the series. I like to read things in Chronological order, which sometimes gives me a different outlook on the prequels when I finish them. That being said, this novella was extremely well written. I know nothing of this world, or the basic idea of the main part of the series, and yet after these 70 some odd pages, I'm hooked. I was reading it on my Nook and didn't have book one with me at the time and I was upset that I couldn't immediately get into the first book! I want to know where all of this was leading, I want to know what some of the words which weren't really explained in this prequel mean, and what the world is like in the dystopia that the author has created. I'm so excited for the rest of the series! ( )
