About Illumicrate and my journey as a subscriber...

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!
The theme for July was We Are The Resistance So let's have a look at what was inside!

Synopsis
When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray.
Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated.
When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings.
Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.
My thoughts on this month's box...
I absolutely loved this box and all the items included this month!
I'm obsessed with the ceramic book pots so to have another one makes me incredibly happy and it's just so gorgeous!
The notebook is of a great quality with a study cardboard front and back with plain paper inside so it can be used for anything!
I'm also super excited to read this book as I've heard such amazing things about it! I mean seven resistance fighters trying to save the galaxy? I'm already hooked.
