Illumicrate - In The Shadows June 2020

About Illumicrate and my journey as a subscriber...

Illumicrate are a monthly subscription box based in the UK. They are dedicated to bringing you the best new releases and each month you'll receive a carefully curated monthly box with a newly released book and around 4-6 bookish goodies.

I've only been subscribed to Illumicrate for just over half a year and I can honestly say that the customer service provided by Illumicrate and their team is amazing. They are so on the ball with it all and are quick to update you about any little changes/delays. They are incredibly swift at replying and even getting the boxes shipped out!

So, let's have a look at what was in June's box! Please be aware that from here there may be spoilers if you have not yet received your box!


Items included in this box

  • A Villains series inspired mug which was designed by @rosiethors88

  • A beautiful foiled art print by @elithinart and is based on Crescent City by Sarah J Maas

  • The Monthly collectors pin which is based on the book of the month and was designed by @fableandblack

  • A gorgeous Serpent & Dove metalmark with character art by @viria94 and a quote designed by @herpaperworld

  • A Nevernight inspired hand fan (which honestly I'm low key obsessed with).

  • The Kill List tea towel inspired by Game of Thrones which was designed by @fionahelen

The Book of the month is The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant. This edition has an exclusive new cover, hidden cover, sprayed edges and autopen signed endpapers!


Synopsis

In the violent urban jungle of an alternate 1828 Paris, the French Revolution has failed and the city is divided between merciless royalty and nine underworld criminal guilds, known as the Court of Miracles. Eponine (Nina) Thénardier is a talented cat burglar and member of the Thieves Guild. Nina's life is midnight robberies, avoiding her father's fists, and watching over her naïve adopted sister, Cosette (Ettie).


When Ettie attracts the eye of the Tiger--the ruthless lord of the Guild of Flesh--Nina is caught in a desperate race to keep the younger girl safe. Her vow takes her from the city's dark underbelly to the glittering court of Louis XVII. And it also forces Nina to make a terrible choice--protect Ettie and set off a brutal war between the guilds, or forever lose her sister to the Tiger.


My thoughts on this month's box...

This is hands down my favourite Illumicrate box that I've received!


I loved every item and as per usual all the items are of a great quality!


I was lucky enough to read an e-arc of The Court of Miracles and absolutely loved it so was so happy to have this absolute gorgeous edition!


The hand fan and the metal mark are definitely my favourite items! I've been wanting a @herpaperworld bookmark for so long and now I'm so happy to finally have one (I'm going to be buying more in the future for sure!) The fan is just beautiful and so unique!


Overall an amazing box and I cannot wait to see what's included in July's box - We Are The Resistance
