UNBOXING | Illumicrate Collections: A Darker Shade of Magic

 

When I first read A Darker Shade of Magic a few years ago, I loved it immediately, so when Illumicrate announced they were releasing a special box for the book, I knew I would love to get one, and when it arrived it certainly exceeded all of my expectations! Everything in the box was beautiful and so creative, I was very happy with it and felt it was well worth the price.

Four Londons blanket, designed by Yoshi Yoshitani.



Dust jackets, designed by rosiethorns88.

Pin, designed by Stacey McEvoy-Caunt.

Cloth, designed by Victoria Ying.


Book sleeve, with artwork by Laia López and lettering by Chatty Nora.

The Essen Tasch banner, designed by Sylvia Bi.

Acrylic character figures, designed by Monolime.






 Special signed edition of A Darker Shade of Magic, with sprayed edges and artwork by Em Allen on the endpapers.

Everything in this box was so unique and inventive, opening it was such a delight. I have never seen acrylic figures in a book box before, and I thought the banner was such a brilliant idea too, those were both such fun items to include. I also love how beautiful the book sleeve, the pin, and the dust jackets are, they are really gorgeous, and the blanket is so soft! The cloth is such a cute little item too, I am sure it will come in handy for cleaning my glasses. The book itself is such a beautiful edition, I am very happy to add it to my shelf.

Did you get this box? What did you think? Let me know in the comments! If you would like to find out more about Illumicrate, their website is here.
