Illumicrate Magic and Mayhem VE Schwab Unboxing

In this post I am going to be unboxing the Illumicrate VE Schwab Magic and Mayhem special edition box. (What follows will contain spoilers so please do not read if you don't want to know what is in the box)

Spoiler filled post under the cut

The first thing I saw upon opening the box was the spoiler card which listed everything in the box so I put that to one side.

First up was a beautiful book sleeve which had quotes from Vicious on it and matched the design of the UK covers. This was designed by Illumicrate themselves.

Next up was an amazing candle called A Darker Shade of London which was a multi-coloured candle by Amelia's Kitchen Candles and a lovely large pouch with a quote from A Darker Shade of Magic on it designed by Stella Bookish Art.

Next up was a tote bag with two designs on, one side was a Vicious design and the other side was a Darker Shade of Magic design. Both designs by Rowa Tree. This tote was lovely, really thick and sturdy.

Also in the box was an amazing scarf, it was thick and long and had all four Londons on it. This was designed by Fable and Black.

In the box was a mug with Captain of the Night Spire on it designed by Temporary Places and a water bottle with As Tascen on it designed by Crini.

Two more items in the box was a Vicious pin badge and an As Travars keyring both items by Fable and Black and I absolutely adore them both.

Lastly there were a selection of paper items including bookmarks with art by Merwild and tarot cards by Lorena Lammer. Both of these items have designs of characters from A Darker Shade of Magic on them.

The last two items were a set of four London postcards by Moledro Craft Co and artwork of Lila and Kell by Victoria Ying.

 

The book included in this box was, of course, Vengeful by VE Schwab. The book also came signed and with a letter from VE Schwab who helped curate this box.

Synopsis: 

Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine.

But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she's finally gained the control she s always sought-and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She'll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.

With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity-and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.

I thought this box was beyond amazing, it totally blew me away. Illumicrate always manages to curate the best special edition boxes and this one was so far my favourite.
