FairyLoot - Desert Dreams May 2020

About FairyLoot and my journey as a subscriber…

FairyLoot is a monthly subscription box based in the UK run by a small yet passionate team. The boxes focus solely on fantasy novels with a different theme each month. The boxes includes 5-6 carefully selected goodies along with a Young Adult or Young Adult crossover book.

I have been subscribed to FairyLoot since 2017 and my first ever box was their one year anniversary box. I remember opening that box and falling in love with it immediately. Over the years I’ve subscribed to other boxes provided by different companies and none have compared to the service that FairyLoot provides.

The customer service that is provided by them is above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced and that is just the tip of what FairyLoot provides. Each month you can read along the book of the month with one of the members of the team and can discuss the chapters on their community page with other subscribers. It honestly makes you feel like part of a family and I love it.

So let's have a loot at what was inside May's box. Please be aware that from here there may be spoilers if you have not yet received your box!

Synopsis

There was and there was not, as all stories begin, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch. But for Soraya, who has lived her life hidden away, apart from her family, safe only in her gardens, it’s not just a story.


As the day of her twin brother’s wedding approaches, Soraya must decide if she’s willing to step outside of the shadows for the first time. Below in the dungeon is a demon who holds knowledge that she craves, the answer to her freedom. And above is a young man who isn’t afraid of her, whose eyes linger not with fear, but with an understanding of who she is beneath the poison.


Soraya thought she knew her place in the world, but when her choices lead to consequences she never imagined, she begins to question who she is and who she is becoming...human or demon. Princess or monster.

My thoughts on this month’s box…

I really liked this box and actually liked how unique some of the items were!


I love Alywn Hamilton so any item from her books is a thumbs up in my opinion! Whilst I don't know if I'll ever use the spoon (as I don't want to ruin it) it will look beautiful in photos!


I love the Book tin, it's absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to use it.

The book is gorgeous and I definitely prefer this design to the original. The pink and the green edges are just beautiful and i cannot wait to read this book! I've heard so many good things about it!

I'm excited to see what is included in June's box!
