Illumicrate is a book subscription box that usually features fantasy and sci-fi, and curates a wide range of books, including both young adult and adult fiction. It usually contains a new release and several bookish goodies.
More knights, but now a story that goes across many reincarnations and lives, and of course I knew this one had this specific featured book so I was looking forward to it.
But how well did it do? Let's go over the contents, starting from the left and going towards the right:
Packing cubes inspired by Our Infinite Fates, these are really cool even if they aren’t displayed much on the picture.
The featured book, which I have read and reviewed here before, The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri, which was awesome and I love the artwork for it.
A cross stitch kit inspired by Godly Heathens, which I have yet to make but I do enjoy when they send craft kits (I have yet to catch up, my current craft is a fox blanket).
A shaker keyring, I am not super crazy on this one to be fair as it a bit meh, they’ve done better keyrings.
A book ceramic pot for “A Soul’s Guide to Eternal Life” which I am keeping.
And the monthly leaflet.
Overall, a good set of items in the box with only the keyring not being one for me, and feeling less fitting to it, but I love the book, and the special edition, and I do love a craft kit because it is fun and something to get me to not be staring at a screen but rather focus differently and have a tangible result. So win on that overall.
