Welcome back to Fictional Analysis! 🎙️I am your host, Kajal. Today is the day for Part 2 of our deep dive into The Ivory by Nyla K, the final book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series.

In this episode, we break down Chapters 16-30:

• Filling in the Blanks: While the first part focused on the island's foundation, these chapters shift to clearing up blank spaces from the previous books. We finally get to see other characters' points of view on past events.

  
  

• Angel's Return: We jump to three years after Angel ran from Ivory. He ends up taking a job back at the Alabaster Pen, but he goes disguised as a girl so Manuel won't recognize him.

  
  

• Inside Ivory's Mind: Reading Manuel's POV is fascinating; it is full of humor, rage, and a twisted sense of ownership over Velle. We also uncover the tragic catalyst for Velle breaking free of Manuel's control: the belief that Manuel sold his mother the drugs that killed her.

  
  

• The Critique: The single biggest problem in this section is the timelines. We get absolute whiplash jumping from the time before the first book, straight into the present timeline of the sixth book, and then back to the fourth book, all from different POVs. It makes it very difficult to remember what is happening.

  
  

• The Big Question: After reading Ivory's perspective, I actually feel like Velle and Manuel should have been together. What do you think?
