Rebel of the Sands Sleep Mask by KDP Letters I really didn't enjoy this book so I wasn't thrilled with this item but it is definitely unique and I always appreciate that.
Earth Spirit Gem Soap by Willow and Honey This is a great item because there every crate could have one of the four elements! I got Earth which is a lovely green color.
Six of Crows Woodmark by Ink and Wonder Designs This is a book I DNF'd after 20 pages but I plan on trying again at some point and this bookmark is beautifully designed by one of my favorite shops. A great item.

Book of the Month

Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian

This is yet another highly anticipated fantasy novel for the year for me. I have been excited to read this novel because of its badass female vibes and amazing plot synopsis. I hope this novel lives up to its reviews and can't wait to get into it in May!

Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia's family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess--a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner. For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She's endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside. Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn't always won on the battlefield. For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.

Crate Score

Overall, this was an amazing crate! Although there were a couple of items that I wasn't as familiar with, it had some really great items and some amazing designs from artists. It also had a great book that I can't wait to get into. I give this crate 4.5 out of 5 stars and I can't wait to see what's in next month's ShelfLove Crate!
