Ivy's Wish

[TONIC]

Hi. As you probably remember Rachel, Ivy, and Jenks were given one wish from the leprechaun Rachel caught back in Dead Witch Walking. We were told Rachel and Jenk's wish, but we were never told what Ivy's wish was. Now, according to Kim Harrison, Ivy's wish has already happened. Does anyone have a clue what it was?

My opinion is Piscary's death.

Ooh! Good topic... I had forgotten all about this little tidbit!

Hmmm... If I had to guess, and I'm probably going to be laughed out of the site, but I think it was something that was sadly-simple: that she had a 'real' friend. I remember after the 'bite incident' the story talked about how this was always something that she really felt she never had and always wanted - someone that wasn't afraid of her but was their own person, with no 'hidden agenda', and truly cared about Ivy as a person.

Wha'cha' guys think?

[Stephanie]

I think both of these ideas are excellent! I'm wondering how we'll find out. Do you think Ivy will say, Remember my leprechaun wish - well it came true....

[Vampyre]

Maybe her wish is the reason why Rachel can't remember the details of what happened on Kisten's boat.

[Silvarian_Lupus]

... I didn't even think about that line of thought. (blinks) It would also explain Jenks memory issues to. (grins) I can't wait until the next book comes out...

I was sort of thinking it was for Rachel to become powerful enough magically to save her from herself but after reading the above ideas, I may have to re-evaluate

[TONIC]

I don't think Ivy wished for Rachel to forget something because Rachel smelled the items to make a forget potion right after she woke up. I think the whole friend thing is probably right, now that I think of it. It is what Ivy's always wanted, an unconditional friend.

[Vampyre]

I don't know about wishing for an unconditional friend. That would lower Rachel's status to no more than a puppy or a kitten. That's what pets do. If Ivy did that to Rachel, she'd be no more than a pet. It also seems kind of selfish and I don't think Ivy is that selfish. She is very needy though so it is still possible.

I'm more inclined to think she'd wish Rachel was stronger or that Jenks would live longer. I doubt the latter though because she's already used it. I guess we'll know in just a short 10 months from now. AAAAAAK!

[DestructoGirl]

I've never ventured a guess but here's what clues I've picked up from Kim's comments in the past:

- would embarrass Ivy for Rachel to know
- won't "save the day"
- likely to cause problems for Rachel when everything comes to fruition

I can't wait to find out though!

[sarahn1080]

All good ideas so far...maybe she just hasn't used it because she has all that she wants right now. In the future she could wish for a scion to do some of the things she is going to have to take care of now that Piscary isn't around. I wonder if anyone has already touched upon what the wish is...

[TONIC]

kim already said it happened, so that means she made a wish.

[KimHarrison]

I'm loving these "supposes." But, ah, it's going to be all the way to 2009 before you find out for sure. (evil author grin)

[jlatn]

2009?! Geez... Oh, well... I'll be right here when you decide to unveil these (and other) wonderful secrets!! By then, there will be so many more things we can fret upon...

Oh, wonderful bliss, this torture will be...could be...shall be...should be... [deep, deep sigh]

I do have one other possibility for Ivy's wish: remember how she wanted to branch out on her own, at the time that this wish was granted? And, Leprechauns are notorious for their abilities with gold and the ability to grant financial gain (from what I've read and seen in theatrical realms). Maybe that is what she wanted, the ability to take care of herself financially for all time. For our lovely vampire, that is a WHOPPING wish... I know her family was financially well-to-do, but that doesn't mean it 'trickled down' to Ivy's needs.

That is so EVIL, to the tenth degree! Not until 2009??!! I would pay you a small fortune if you let me be your proofreader....and my lips would be sealed.

2009!? AAK! I am old, I don't know if I'll be around that long. Oh well as long as it's before 2012. That's when the asteroid destroys 85% of the Earth.

[KimHarrison]

I'd say I'm sorry, but really I'm not. (big grin) See, I usually sit on a book for a good two years before you see it, and THAT'S torture. I'm just "sharing the love." (laughing now)

TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vampyre]

At Kim Harrison's, we open no book before it's time. This ensures the finest read to the most discriminating reader. No matter if you slowly read our books over a period of several weeks or power read them in 2 hours, your satisfaction is guaranteed and you will be wanting more.

You know, if I did stuff like this to my pets, PETA or the SPCA would be all over me. It's all right you big meanie, we'll wait..like we have a choice.




P.s. By 'we' and 'our' I do not mean to imply anything. That bit is supposed to be a parody one of those old wine commercials and be humorous. I feel silly adding this but all people are different and not everyone sees the same thing when they read something. Your mileage may vary and prices are subject to change due to availability. This disclaimer void where prohibited. Have a nice day...OR ELSE!
