Star Wars sunglasses (these were a bit meh, they feel like a filler item as they have nothing beyond a logo, and it’s not that amazing, plus I can’t use sunglasses).A promotional bookmark for Sweet Black Waves.Seven Devils, just look at the gorgeous cover change!.The latest Illumicrate had a very scifi feel to it and the contents were as follows: And of course all the contents are so well tailored for the trilogy that it is like magic! It is gorgeous, honestly!Īll in all it was a great box, the item I will probably love the least is the dust jackets because I am not normally fond of them in books and prefer naked covers. And finally the hardcover book with a foiled naked cover, silver sprayed edges and front endpapers with artwork by Em Allen.

In the middle is a microfibre cloth to clean glasses and gadgets with a design by Victoria Ying.A pin of Lila’s mask designed by Stacey McEvoy-Caunt.

Those were hard to display as they had come rolled in to be protected but difficult to quickly lay flat (they’ll be flat after a few days under some books).

There was also a set of dust jackets for all three books if you’re not that into the naked look.

On top are some acrylic figures of the characters and one of the author too, which I thought was a cute idea and they’ll look good on a shelf to decorate.

Normally I am not crazy about posters but I somehow really like this one.

Essen Tasch hanging poster, this makes me feel like I’ve been to it and got a memento poster to hang on my wall.

The artwork is by Laia Lopez and the quote typography design on the other side is by Chatty Nora.

Then we have a booksleeve inspired by Lila’s and Kell “dance”, it’s a good size and slightly plastified so really nice.

Underneath most of the goodies is a Four Londons blanket by Yoshi Yoshitani, which I like a lot (usually the blankets are gorgeous).

Contents booklet, mostly it lists what each item is and who the artist/companies behind it are.

And of course, as per usual, it was packed full of goodies (so much I struggled to fit it all on my usual table), so let’s see what it had starting at the bottom right and going clockwise: Any Illumicrate Collections box tends to be really good, so when they announced A Darker Shade of Magic being a box, I jumped at it and got it.
