The embroidery looks so beautiful I would love that and the water bottle too. I dont care for bookmarks really and the bookends are okay. I really love the look of the book , especially the foiling on the endpapers. Feel like FL box was better than IC this month
I wish so badly that I could embroider! I'm going to make a second attempt, so we'll see! The FairyLoot box definitely seemed to be thought through better than the Illumicrate box. It was more cohesive, and the items were well designed. I especially love the way the book was done!
Yes! That box is 💯! Thank you for the review. My box arrives this week so I am stoked now! A bookend hack, turn it to face out and then you can see the design AND you can put a book there facing out because the stand is so long.
I just found you through your FL July Unboxing. And i love your content! I just want to mention: i read the book without Reading book 1 and i followed along really nicely. so you can definitly read them as seperate stand-alones (i also ordered book 1 because i really loved the world building an am exicited to read a second Story in this world) But i sadly i dont think fairyloot is doing a special Edition of book 1 any time soon, because the shadows between us was in a YA box years ago, so Fairyloot all ready as an exclusive edition of book 1. ( it is sad to me, because the covers and height dont really fit and you also cant get your hands on the SE of book 1)
Oh, I'm so glad to know that! Okay, it definitely makes me feel better that book 2 isn't dependent on book 1. It is sad knowing they probably won't do a matching edition of The Shadows Between Us, though. Especially since you said it's hard to get ahold of the first edition, and they don't match anyways. Maybe it will end up being part of their Iron Editions? (Though they don't seem to have done much with those so far?) We'll see, I suppose
The box looks amazing but I'm so confused that they put the 2nd volume of book series from 2020 in a montly box instead of selling it at their online shop separately. I know from Illumicrate that they sell the other books of a series separately and the people who brought the first volume get an early access.
I didn't even think about that as an option, but they definitely could have gone that route. Or they could have done a combo sale with their Iron Editions that got launched a while back. (Although, I don't think they've done much with that?) This was an interesting book choice for certain.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Ugh, I hope they do. Or, at the very least, that this can read as a standalone and there's no need to get the first book. (Unless you really want it, of course!)

I really liked your unboxing :). My personal favourite is the bookends.
Thank you!! The design on the bookends is really well done :) I'm playing around with display options!

Ooooh, I'll have to give this trick a try! Now to find the best book to fit the colors of the bookends ...

I am so sad to figure out that they did infact do a special edition back in 2020 of The shadows between us. Hoping that they will do a reprint of it.
