I just finished them all. They were great!

So far it's just been the occasional art prints.

This one came from Illumicrate. I have a subscription with them. This was a pre-order. When you're a subscriber you get early access to purchase books from them. Sometimes they have more copies than are needed for their subscribers and sometimes not. I'm not sure if they have a wait list to subscribe at the moment.

They always have some left in case they need to replace damaged copies. Be on the lookout for an announcement from them and you may be able to snag a set! I just finished reading this book and it was excellent. I'm glad to have such a beautiful copy of it.

@grimkeeper35 I also recommend his other book Project Hail Mary it's also a really good book!

@@newdawn3301 That is the June Sci-fi book for this subscription. I can't wait!

I think the books for this set look amazing! However, if I was to pick one little thing to gripe about, it would be that there is no foiling anywhere. Maybe the title on the dust jacket or the stars on the end pages would have been nice. I just really love foiling. Lol I had to give up my tier 2 sub for the Sci-Fi sub because of shipping costs to the US, and so far no regrets!

@@Wendy-yr5ke I love the sci-fi sub so far too. I'm hoping for Red Rising or some titles by Blake Crouch.

I still haven't read book 3 yet. I love this series!

I agree. The cover and the overall color scheme don't fit a horror theme. I can't wait to read it though!

This is what their site says: "Our insoles have a firmer material in the arch region to provide additional support. If you’re looking for support that isn’t too aggressive for flat feet then these should be able to help you. Our material will form to your feet while giving extra stability, especially in the arch region. Being that you’re using them for flat feet, they may take a few days to adjust to as you may feel increased pressure in the arch region." I can only speak to how well these worked for me but I don't have flat feet. However, one of the advantages of these insoles is that they're designed to slowly mold to your foot. They may work well for flat feet but I can't personally tell you that based on experience.

@@grimkeeper35 thank you for your input, I am DEFINITELY going to give them a try.. I just ordered my first pair, so we'll see..

They look so pretty 😍 I love the color combinations

Defy the Night was in the September 2021 box from Fairyloot = subscription. The other two books were individual pre-orders.

@@grimkeeper35Nice- thank you!

The finished copies look awesome! I look forward to starting this series in April.

The Broken Binding is my best subscription. They are planning a Sci-fi sub coming up too!

This is by far the best subscription I have. They are planning a Sci-Fi sub coming up and I think I'm going to cancel one of my other subscriptions and sign up for that one. Their book choices are so good.

@@grimkeeper35 Yes I signed up for their Sci Fi Subscription too

I agree. Points for an original idea for sure. I usually don't care about reversible dust jackets but they nailed both of these.

I just looked up the Waterstones edition and the edges are definitely better. Oh well.

The books are great too. I just finished the 2nd one and I'm hooked on this series.

Me too! It's much more exciting.

Not that I know of. Occasionally one of the subscriptions will have a 2-book month and the 2nd book will be a paperback but that's rare. Since I have book-only subscriptions I never get the 2nd book in the months they include a 2nd one anyway. Only the full box subscribers get the extra book.

Probably. The carry straps on top velcro together and this may allow for something to be rigged up. It may also be possible to rig something using the pull handle once it's extended. Or maybe both. I think a few companies make leg pad bags also. I use a pad-carrying strap from a company called Halo Hockey which I recommend. I carry my leg pads on my shoulder while I pull the bag and this works well for me. I recommend every Halo Hockey product. Excellent quality!

More to come! I'm glad you enjoy them.

I love this bag! I've had a few people comment on how cool it is. It's holding up very well and I'm glad I made this purchase. It was worth every penny.

They came out great! I still wish they would go back to signed books though.

There are no illustrations and I have no idea if Holly Black has done a graphic novel for this series. I would assume she hasn't because this series is so popular it would be widely talked about.

I knew that name was familiar but I had to look it up. You aren't the first person to say that! 😁

The axe handle is slightly off on the bottom but the top looks pretty well aligned.

The imperials have changed a lot since I made this video so I'm not sure if the sizing is the same.

@@grimkeeper35 I am not talking about the imperials, I am talking about the singles, the normal ones. Thank you!

A small might be slightly snug and a medium slightly loose. It seems like you're exactly between the two sizes. I will be curious to see how you like the fir on the mediums you ordered.@@eightchtee

@@grimkeeper35 I actually sent Zox an email asking for replacement of the sizes to small. Anyway, wether they come Medium or small, I will make sure to let you know how they fit my wrist.

Yes, but it's no longer valid. They stopped doing that for some reason.

I don't plan on asking for a replacement. They likely won't give me one for a dirty dust jacket.

No. I bought those pants new as a pro return. They've been awesome too!

I'm hoping for some good selections from this box. I want to get more into the horror genre.

@@grimkeeper35 come to the dark side 😈

I could probably find a way to do that at home. Not sure if there are many people who would want to see that though.

No bookmarks or extras are included with the book-only option. I'm honestly a bit surprised we get the author's letters.

I missed the First Law Trilogy so I guess I got in about 4 months after it started. My subscription began with The Winnowing Flame Trilogy. Before they added a Tier 2 subscription the wait list was measured in years, not months but I have no idea if adding the 2nd tier has shortened the wait or not.

@grimkeeper35 yea when I got in the wait list there was no tier 2, probably been 1.5 years. Last I asked thwy had no idea on time frame because they hadn't got it figured out after tier 2

I own a Kova also and it's even more protective than the Passau. The Passau is softer and more flexible and the Kova is stiffer and harder. I completely trust both to protect me. I would say the Kova is more protective but the Passau is easier to care for because you can just put it in a laundry bag and into the washing machine. I'm not sure I would do that with the Kova.

Part of me feels bad about complaining about a digital signature since they put a lot of work into making these books special but it still cheapens them somehow. If they can't get it signed then just don't get it signed. The whole digital thing feels like they're slowly grooming everyone to accept a lower standard and that stinks.

@puckspages4654 yep that's exactly how I feel about it too. I'd rather not have the digital signature on a special edition if it's going to be "fake".

Lame. It makes no sense to do that. They should either have it signed or not. If something doesn't change with this soon I may get on the waitlist for Goldsboro GSFF and switch to that.

Thank you! I have fun making these videos.

I recently finished the series and I loved it.

@@grimkeeper35 I was curious, I have a book ordered from brokenbinding that will release next month. How long does delivery usually take after the book gets shipped?

@@iLastStar usually 7-10 days for me I think

I just compared them and the original is quite a bit thicker. You're right!

@@grimkeeper35 I checked with the original a day of the fallen night at my local Waterstones today and that too was a lot thicker than the Broken Binding version, , I do not know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, I suspect that it might have been a cost-cutting thing, on the broken bindings part, as posting two books of this size would be very costly especially given that many people worldwide could be very well ordering these books ...again alot of people have been disappointed that the biding on these special additions appears glued and not sewn, but I suspect if they had been sewn they would be alot more money

@@heydon2012 I haven't heard of very many quality issues with TBB so far. I guess time will tell.

@@grimkeeper35 Well I would imagine that any quality control issues would be with the publisher, as they are the ones that print the books after all , I have asked a direct quest to the TBB , to see what they say

@@heydon2012 what did they say ?

These editions are from their Tier 1 subscription. You would have to get on the waitlist but from what I've heard their waitlist is measured in years not months.

They are pretty thin which helps them be more versatile. I hope you end up liking them!

What’s the verdict?

@@cdb8315 They feel pretty good and is nice for dress shoes if standard insoles are too thick.

True. It's not a good match for those 2 books. Individually it's great but nothing like Wolfsong either.

I have a lot of bookshelves! 3 big ones in my bedroom plus 2 smaller ones in my office. My collection isn't increasing much since I've started selling a lot of my books.

@@grimkeeper35 why are you selling them? Do you stop loving them?😅

I'm only keeping books I know I will want to read a 2nd time. Everything else is being sold. It keeps things under control.

USA. Originally from the northeast but I've lived a few places in the country.
