The author of to gaze upon wicked gods ended up having to come out and spoil her book because she was getting so much hate for people thinking she wrote a colonizer romance. It’s so sad that she got such nasty comments for her work before people even read the book!
Okay this is good to hear. That's kind of why I didn't want to make a judgment until I read it since a lot of times, things may not be what they seem. That's so sad that the author got bullied. I absolutely hate that
The puzzle is probably my favorite item you got today, followed by the dragon bookends. The Owlcrate box is my least favorite. I like the book, but I'm very glad I switched over to book only. The items are just not doing it for me! Out of the last 3 boxes, I've enjoyed one of the items where I would actually want to own it. I wonder if they are too involved in expanding right now to focus on their items...?
Can't wait for the house tour. That's a lot of boxes! My thoughts: (sorry for a long comment) 1. I'm waiting for Polish translation of Tales of Celestial Kingdom, but honestly, I haven't heard any announcements about it, and it's been already a few months since it came out, if I'm not mistaken? Endpapers are pretty, I love them. I generally prefer the US editions of the covers. I recently found out that the cover artist did some art for a few books I ordered for their covers recently ("Strike the Zither", "The God and The Gumiho" [which I'm excited to read, but there is still 2 weeks wait before I can get it]... There is also US edition of Graceling series, but it's hard to get in Europe. I wonder if I should just buy it in UK covers and decide if I like it, before I decide to spend 100 PLN on shipping from America) 2. The Forth Wing's bookends are cool. I haven't read the book, but I love dragons. The wallet is cute. The painting is interesting; hope you will show it when you finish it! I agree the book is really pretty. Love the pumpkins. I don't really have problem with square edges, but I prefer it with smaller books / novellas. 3. This edition of Evocation is pretty. I kind of want it, haha. (Debating between buying a resell of it, or one of remaining past boxes from Locked Library). The red would fit next to Tempest of Tea (red) and Scarlet Alchemist (also red. Both from Fairyloot). 4. The Sins on Their Bones is nice, but not my style. I like the reverse more. I may be wrong, but I think the text on hardcover is the same on both sides, just in different language. I may be mistaken, but I think that's what I read in the comments of a different unboxing video. 5. Murder Road - I'm not a fan of the dustjacket, but the hardcover is nice. 6. Oh I love that Owlcrate box! The book is pretty and I was looking foward to seeing this edition. But I think I prefer the original. I'm not sure. Both are pretty. I'm telling myself I don't want it because I don't have that much money to buy every edition I want, haha. I think they just made the mirror wrong. On another video I watched with unboxing of it, it was also really scratched. 7. Not much thoughts on that Fairyloot box. The book is really nice. I think I've seen resellings of it already, and I'm considering buying this one too. 8. Illumicrate: Puzzle! (The idea of Puzzle with every book box is cool. I'd love that too, if it was a thing). The design is pretty. Would be cool when put together and maybe hanged on the wall in a library room? The book is pretty! I've seen a lot of people being angry at the book. I want to read it too, but since the cover is the same as original, and Idk if I will like it, I will probably either buy the regular version, or wait for Polish translation. 9. Unplugged: The book is nice. I never heard of it. Endpapers are pretty. 10. Pillowcase looks pretty. The fake book box is beautiful. The tree on its back reminds me of Tree of Gondor a bit. The typewriter pin? I love it! I love typewriters (don't have any :/). They kind of remind me of accordions in design. Book tabs are nice; I'm always unlucky with book tabs, they never stick properly! I like the book design; reverse cover is nicer than the front one. Endpapers are pretty. I never read anything from dark academia genre. --- My Locked Library still isn't here; it's stuck in Germany with no updates for the last two days. And we have a church holiday in Poland today, so it will probably be delayed until next week. I'm still trying to read a Tempest of Tea; I plan to read at least two more chapters today. We just got announcement of Polish edition, and it has really pretty edges. (if you want to look it up: in Polish it's called "Herbaciany Sztorm". I don't really like that name, it feels off.) [Also, because of the Polish name I realised I misread "tempest" as "temptation" for at least two months]. (Tell me please, if you feel okay with me commenting so much under your every video. I feel like I'm overstepping a bit.)
Keep commenting! I have a couple of subscribers that I recognize from every video and love it so definitely continue! It's like having bookish friends on here so it's awesome. Did Locked Library come yet? It's been like a week since you wrote the comment so I'm dying to know if it finally got there.
@@kimberlyreads Nope! Still stuck in Germany with no updates since 28th. I'm starting to get worried, but LL says the shipment can take up to 4 weeks, so I will wait a bit more before contacting them.
I love the idea of overlays, but I wish they’d stick to the book that month or at least make sure they’ll fit if you buy a copy. I love the Emily Wilde ones, love the book, but I didn’t get that box and I have yet to find that book available in the size of the overlays. So so so frustrating and annoying.
Lol, it's Heart Of The Sun Warrior, not Warrior Of The Sun God. Haven't read it yet, but I really want to. I loved Daughter of the Moon Goddess. I love that you got the special edition of the Celestial Tales book to match your others; it's so pretty! I really want to get a book box but I live in Canada and they are so expensive to get shipped here. Loved living vicariously through you and this video! Lol.
I absolutely loved the Evernight book designs. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the book, but I’m hanging onto it as a piece of art, basically. It seems like IC is having so much fun with this sub. Maybe they feel they can take more risks with the designs than with the regular sub.
I didn’t get Evernight as I’m not a Horror girlie but I really enjoyed Murder Road! And agree that edition is so fun! I like to use the metal pencil case thingy for bookmarks! My first one is basically full haha so I wasn’t bothered by the repeat
You mean the Forth Wing ones? It's like special art on see-through paper, that you put on specific pages, where the scene portrayed by the art happens.
when i saw the owlcrate Song of the Six Realms design, ive been bookmarking so many pango sellers just WAITING for the prices to drop low enough to justify buying another book bc that design is GORGEOUS i LOVE the rose gold❤❤ (i'd love to watch a rant video about how Atlas 6 isn't DA in your opinion 😅)
Glad your Mom helped. Only your Mom, not your Dad. Your Dad who might have carried the boxes, drove 2.5 hours (while someone slept), and carried the boxes into your house. Yeah your Mom, she did it all…all…great….YD

My owlcrate mirror looked super scratched but it just needed wiped down
I just read Murder Road, and I loved it. Hadn't seen that cover before, and now I am desperate for it. It's fun!

I loved your Cresent City video and I can not wait for the next one
lmao I feel your pain. I have baby hands to and struggle to find gloves that fit me.

It's wonderful to live in the woods. I have woods behind my house but this There were a lot of ticks around. You definitely have to be careful.
Oh we have a lot of ticks. I don't really go out into the wooded part and we keep our dog on tick stuff and it's worked so far, but we're watching out
Love the idea of book and puzzle book box! Much better than book w/candle…I’m also allergic to many candles

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who hates Owlcrate's pins this year.
They are literally horrible and I will die on that hill 🤣
Absolutely love Murder Road cover. Perfection!
I didn’t get Evernight as I’m not a Horror girlie but I really enjoyed Murder Road! And agree that edition is so fun!
I like to use the metal pencil case thingy for bookmarks! My first one is basically full haha so I wasn’t bothered by the repeat
I literally stuffed it full of bookmarks after I finished filming 😆
TWO acres!! WOW!!
What are overlays?
You mean the Forth Wing ones?
It's like special art on see-through paper, that you put on specific pages, where the scene portrayed by the art happens.
It's art on vellum paper.
@@laurawessels2490Thank you!
when i saw the owlcrate Song of the Six Realms design, ive been bookmarking so many pango sellers just WAITING for the prices to drop low enough to justify buying another book bc that design is GORGEOUS i LOVE the rose gold❤❤
(i'd love to watch a rant video about how Atlas 6 isn't DA in your opinion 😅)
Atlas Six is close to being my evil origin story 🤣 that's how much I hated it and would like to scream from the roof that it's fake dark academia
Not me jumping over to Mercari to find the Fourth Wing overlays 👀
riiiiiiight 😆
Great unboxings 📚🥤🌈🍄🌷
Glad your Mom helped. Only your Mom, not your Dad. Your Dad who might have carried the boxes, drove 2.5 hours (while someone slept), and carried the boxes into your house. Yeah your Mom, she did it all…all…great….YD
🤣🤣🤣 sassy
the second book you unboxed, I think the language is Hebrew on the case…
Evernight are killing the redesigns 😍 I adore this edition of Murder Road. Pretty average read for me but I’m keeping it cuz it’s just too cool 😂
Yeah I'm praying I love the book because it will kill me to get rid of it
45:40 your reaction when you saw that end paper LMAOO yes, it's the colonizer romance book hahaha
