The Incredibly, Insanely, Super Duper Late July 2016 YA Chronicles Unboxing!

Ok, so I got a bit lazy and didn't get around to clearing enough space to photograph these until last week. Then I literally have not turned on my computer since then to process and upload, etc... ok, excuses and all. 

Anyway, I was actually really happy with this box. The items were good and the book was one that I was looking forward to (even though I didn't think ahead and bought it before this box arrived... but at least the second copy has a good home with one of my friends).

July's theme was Ladies Who Slay.

The first item was this cool Sailor Moon mirror! I didn't get to watch much of Sailor Moon when I was a kid, but when I did, I loved it, so this item is both awesome and useful!

The second item was a necklace with Hermione Granger's wand! I love this so much! It's by far the best item in the box. The chain is super long, so it didn't need an annoying clip!

There was also a keychain with either a Throne of Glass or A Court of Thorns and Roses design and I'm so happy that I got the Throne of Glass one! I can't say that I'm impressed by the quality though. The image is crooked and barely fits the pendant. Celaena's head almost got cropped out! (Sorry, that glare is aweful but it couldn't be helped. Also, Jen got the ACOTAR one.)

Then there was a temporary tattoo inspired by Tris' tattoo in the Divergent series. Normally, I don't give two farts about temp tattoos, but this one is kind of generic and has meaning outside of the Divergent series and will make a cool gift.

There was an extra bookmark this month, and I actually have the book, so it'll be cool to use this while I read The Crown's Game!

And finally, we have the book! And I Darken by Kiersten White.

As I said, I'm really happy that this was the book, because I was looking forward to getting it anyway. I've only sampled the first few chapters of this so far and it already drew me in! I can't wait to actually sit down and read it properly.

Overall, I'm really glad I bought this box! The YA Chronicles have really been a disappointment for me this year, with a majority of the books being contemporary, so I haven't been purchasing it unless I feel that the book is something that I'd actually read. Unfortunately, it's exactly this reason why neither of us bought the August box, and we're glad that we didn't because we didn't like anything in it. I figured out which book would be featured prior to it being sent out and it didn't interest either of us.

Anyway, my rating for the July box is 4/5.

September's box is You Win, or You Die and there will be an unboxing coming towards the end of the month.
