I had heard a lot of good things about this book, but I was always a bit on the fence about it. I am a huge fan of the Hunger Games trilogy and the first Divergent book, but I know that some books tend to get overhyped. However, I was pleasantly suprised. Yes, it is another dystopian, post-apocalyptic world with issues that only this one very special character can solve, but I loved it nonetheless.

The story is quick, yet complex, and the characters are very interesting (especially Bishop!). I don't always agree with Ivy's reasoning, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. If I had to compare this book to anything, I would say it's a bit like Matched by Ally Condie or The Selection by Kiera Cass. However, I consider these books to be quite light reads, a bit fluffy, if you will (I thoroughly enjoyed both books because of these aspects). The Book of Ivy has a great deal more action and political intrigue.

I read a lot of good things about this book, but I didn’t expect it to grab me like this. The Book of Ivy series consists of just two books. Most dystopian, post-apocalyptic novels I read are trilogies, which to mine opinion often results in a boring in-between book or a disappointing last one. So a two-book-series seamed perfect. Although I will never know if the series would be as good as a trilogy as it is now, this was the first time I was sad to see there is only one sequel.
