Ivy/Rachel is definitely on the backburner in ODW, but I hope it will burst in flames during the upcoming Hollows books. Being the best romantic relationship in any book I've read in a long while, seeing it come true would make me a very happy guy. At least we have a couple of gifted writers doing fan fiction, which I'm thankful for. :)

It's a bit crazy how obsessed I'm about a fictional relationship in a book, but it's just so good... Damn you, Kim! Somehow I know that it's going to take 6 more books and 6 more years to get there (she's planning 13 books total). In other words: and eternity.

Marshall definitely isn't working out as a romantic interest at all...
