Ivyceleste Centeno asked Amy Engel:

Wow! I absolutely fell in love with this story line. I usually read books that are mundane. However, The Book of IVY really got my attention (we share the same name). I loved how you created every character and made them unique and relatable. I just have one question! What inspired you to write this duology? (Also I hope you change your mind and continue the series)

Amy Engel Hi Ivyceleste,

To be honest, I'm not sure where the idea of TBoI came from. One day I just had the idea of a girl forced to marry a boy she'd been trained to kill and the rest of the story flowed from that idea. Thanks so much for your question!

Best,
Amy
