The Best of Fairyloot and Illumicrate! The Battle of the Book Boxes Special Editions [2024 Edition]

After 4 years of being a subscriber of Illumicrate, Evernight, Fairyloot, Fairyloot Adult and the Fairyloot Romantasy subscriptions, I've finally sat down to look at the best 20 editions they have done; 5 redesigned covers, 5 sprayed and digitally printed edges, 5 books with the best endpapers, and 5 books with the best hardcover designs. Looking at how many Fairyloot and Illumicrate unboxing videos I have done on this channel, I've probably opened around 150ish special edition books.

I realised when making this that actually the Fairyloot Adult subscription has really gone above and beyond. I'm really shocked by how little Illumicrate representation there is in here.

Obbiously this video is based on UK subscriptions only as this is where I live; I've always thought that Owlcrate did amazing work too with their special editions but never had a subscription due to shipping costs.

Let me know your favourites in the comments! I'm hoping to find some even more amazing books in 2025.

ABOUT
Book lover by day, Booktuber by night. I'm always reading some kind of YA/Fantasy/Sci-Fi book. I live in the North East of England, have a useless archaeology degree (thanks Tomb Raider for the inspo), and when my nose is not in a book you can guarantee I'm off travelling. I have over 200 unread books, so come join the reading journey, it's likely to last a lifetime!
