    A Beautiful Sequel

    A Song of Legends Lost was my first Illumicrate subscription book, and I still love its beautiful design and stunning endpapers. With that in mind, I think the sequel - A Dance of Burning Blades - is even more stunning than the first book! I am glad Illumicrate have committed to making matching sequels for their subscription books - it makes it so much easier as a collector to stick with the books! (Still grieving the lack of a matching edition for my Martha Wells fantasy book...) But yes - this one is gorgeous, looking forward to book 3!

    A stunning sequel!

    I really love the redesigns Illumicrate have been doing this series, and I particularly love how this looks alongside book 1! Really excited to see how it will look when all 3 books are together.

    Woohoo!! Love getting matching sequels

    Am always a bit paranoid that less popular books won't get the sequel treatment, but was stoked when I saw this one was released. I am OBSESSED with that hardback design.
