Blurb: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)
4 stars — This was a solid prequel novella! I will admit that I was pretty confused about the timeline and how it meshed with what I learned from Perry in book 1, but oh well.
Roar was pretty easy to love. Sure he was headstrong, and didn’t always think before he acted. But you could truly feel his love for both Liv and Perry. And in general I really believed that he wanted whatever Liv wanted. But I also think he hasn’t really given himself time to think about who he is without Liv and Perry, so while my heart breaks for him, I’m glad he has this time to figure himself out. Course, I guess we’ll see how it plays out over the course of this series!
COYER Community: I buddy read this book with Lillian, though she had read this series back when it first came out. I don’t think she’s redoing her reviews, but she rated it 5 stars and you can see her review here.
