October OwlCrate Review

Hello, all! 

The theme for October was "Power Has a Price." Let's get into it!

First up was this lip balm inspired by The Priory of the Orange Tree. I don't usually like the beauty products in subscription boxes, but this smells nice, so I may use it.

I think this might be my favorite installment in the Treasured Tomes pin collection-- it's Howl's Moving Castle themed! Just look at that tiny Calcifer. He's so cute.

It's so fitting to get an item inspired by Once Upon a Broken Heart seeing as how the third book came out this month. I think this scarf is so cute, and I love the design.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how stunning this autumnal spoon rest is? It's inspired by The Nature of Witches, and I'm probably going to keep this in my kitchen year-round.

The last item was this transparent sticker set inspired by The Poppy Wars. The artwork on these is so pretty and I can't wait to use them in my bullet journal.

October's book was This Dark Descent by Kalyn Josephson. This follows a horse breeder, a black-market enchanter, an ambitious heir, and his broody friend who must band together to win a cutthroat enchanted horserace. This is no ordinary horserace and the group quickly realizes the odds are stacked against them and no one can be trusted.

I haven't heard of this one before, but I saw it described as The Shadows Between Us mixed with Six of Crows, so color me intrigued. Let me know what you think of this box!
