Review: 

This month's theme was Battles & Galaxies. I wasn't instantly sold on this box to begin with. Thought it sounded good but I didn't know any of the books so I was going to give it a pass. However they later announced they were releasing a tote bag in the box, which convinced me to get the box. I was glad I did as it was a good box.

The first item was the Galaxy bath bomb. Due to my eczema, I can't use bath bombs so I gave this item to my sister. Before I did I could smell it straight away and it smelt really nice and strong. My sister also sent me a video of the bath bomb being used and it did look really pretty. So even though I couldn't appreciate it myself, it did seem of good quality. 


Then we had the passport cover. I don't see much point in passport covers personally, but it can be used for covers for other things like travel passes. The design wasn't themed around any book, just a FairyLoot inspired passport cover. It does look nice and I will use it.

The wooden ornament was very cute. I believe it's purpose is to be used on a Christmas tree, but I like it so I'm gonna put it on my bookcase instead so I can see it all year. The quote itself is from William Shakespeare and it says 'It is not in the Stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves'. It's very inspirational and pretty. 

One of the items I particularly loved was the space coaster set. Even though I haven't read the Lunar Chronicles, I do think the quotes are really nice and the design is very pretty. Also appreciated that there was more than just one coaster. 

I would say my favourite item however was the straws. I always use a straw but I've been using plastic ones, so I'm glad to have metal reusable straws now. Also the design of the straws are beautiful and I love the little phases on them.  I also appreciate how one straw is a bent straw and the other is straight. To make my life easier, FairyLoot also provided a straw cleaner so I can make these straws last forever. One of the straws says 'Shine Bright' and the other says 'Reach for the Stars'. Both of these straws remind me of songs.

Then we got the iron-on patch which will make another nice addition to my book cover. This one is a quote from Red Rising by Pierce Brown, again I haven't read this book but still appreciate the design and like collecting patches and badges from the boxes. I like how it's black and white, quite simply really but very pretty.

Another favourite item of the box was the tote bag, after all it was the item to convince me to buy the box. This was inspired by the Illiuminae series. It has a great colourful design, and a great quote to match. I look forward to using this as my new gym bag. The quote says 'Perhaps bravery is simply the face humanity wraps around its collective madness.'

This months book is Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I've been told that he is quite a big american author, so it's good to see FairyLoot reaching more people. I've not read any of his stuff before but I look forward to reading it (and reviewing it). The pages were sprayed yellow, which is another colour to add to my rainbow of books from FairyLoot. It also suits the book cover really well. 

This months box also included a bonus item of a free eBook. This book is called Atlas Fallen by Jessica Pierce and I look forward to reading this too. I hope they do more free eBooks, in the future.

Overall, I did like this box. I didn't love it as much as ones I had in the past but it was still really good. I'm going to say 4 stars.
