Ivory Apples by Lisa Goldstein
2.0
2.5/5 stars
I'll be the first to admit that the summary of this book didn't catch too much of my attention. Contemporary Fantasy is a genre I have a lot of difficulty enjoying properly. I either love it or hate it. Ivory Apples is somewhere in between for me. i didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it either. The writing itself is quite beautiful and gets you invested, but the dialogue between characters and even the world itself is a bit off-putting. Something just doesn't seem right when you read this, and by the end I was still left very unsatisfied. I usually don't say this, but this is a book where you should probably judge it based off of the summary. If you think you'll love it, then go ahead and grab it. If it doesn't grab your attention, it may be best to just skip this
Also, strangely enough I don't remember much of the story after being away from it for a few days... So that's a bit unfortunate.
