In this post I am going to be unboxing the February 2019 Shelflove crate box. (What follows will contain spoilers so please do not read if you don't want to know what is in the box)
Shelflove Crate is a monthly book subscription box. Each month you receive a new YA book release (either fantasy or sci-fi) and 4 or more theme-based items. The theme chosen is based on the chosen book.
The theme this month was Warrior Women (Spoiler filled post under the cut)
The first thing I saw upon opening the box was the spoiler leaflet with lovely artwork on the cover.
Firstly I found a pair of Hunger Games inspired wooden earrings and some And I darken quote ankle socks.
Next up was a gorgeous canvas print of all the women from both Sarah J Maas' series (Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses) and a Sky in the Deep inspired tote bag which I adore.
The next item was a beautiful wooden bookmark with a different design on each side, one side was a map from the book of the month and the other was a quote from Grave Mercy.
The very last items were this months chess pieces (each month Shelflove are including 2 fandom related chess pieces) this month was Alosa and Riden from Daughter of the Pirate King duology and a promotional map for the book of the month.
The book this month was Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller. The book came signed and with beautiful artwork on the reverse of the dust jacket.
Synopsis:
Eighteen-year-old Rasmira has always been both praised and scorned for her talents. As her father's chosen heir, she has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. Fortunately, her long wait is almost over and after she passes her coming-of age trial, she'll finally be able to live on her own and not have to deal with her mother's constant rejection or the jealousy of her peers. Perhaps then she will be able to be both a warrior and a woman. But when trial day arrives, everything goes terribly wrong. Her test is sabotaged, and by law all those who fail are banished and given an impossible quest to reclaim their honor in death. And Rasmira is given the most difficult quest of them all: She must kill the oppressive deity who claims tribute from her village every year or die in the attempt.
I thought this box was lovely and the fact it was curated by Tricia Levenseller was definitely an added bonus. I am super excited to get to the book as it sounds amazing and I loved her Daughter of the Pirate King duology.
