Not sure how I feel about Ivy
This is a fun read. I like the history behind the world Harrison has created. It’s entertaining, if not a little funny. Half the human popluation was wiped out by a lab created virus accidentally released into the public through tomatoes, while the supernatural was not harmed and now are the only consumers of the tomato industry. It’s a bit silly, but it works. And don’t worry, the book isn’t all about tomatoes, but they do play a part in the explanation of the world you’re reading about. I also enjoyed Harrison’s take on the supernatural creatures living in her world. The inclusion of a pixy as a central side character is different as well. I’ve read few books that pixies remain part of the story throughout the whole book. I’m not going to lie though, I did find myself losing interest after the first few chapters. However, about half way through it picked back up, but continued to be up and down in holding my interest for the rest of the book.
