the hard cover reveal of the aftg special editions are gorgeous and I can't wait to have them but I'm laughing because the cover for The Raven King, if you hadn't read the series before, looks like dad!Kevin and his two rebel teenagers, when in actual fact it's tired!Andrew and his two problem children.

I seem to be living under a rock, do you know what all this new pov for aftg stuff is about and where I can find them?
Hiiii yes anon I do!! They're most likely referring to the three new bonus chapters that came with the Rainbow Crate special edition. Each chapter is written from a different character's POV (Wymack, Betsy and Aaron) and they each give a lot of insight into scenes and moments that Neil wasn't there to directly witness.
These chapters are exclusive to this edition, but I believe there are free scanned versions you can find online, though I can't seem to find the link to the one I last saw floating around.
If anyone has it, please drop it in the replies for anon 🫶

I’m actually so disappointed in all the misprints with my AFTG special editions, I paid almost $200 for these books…

Hey Nate and Oona, I listened to the first two episodes and loved them, I don’t know if you’ve covered this yet:
I would love to hear your thoughts on Wymack’s and Kayleigh’s age difference. With the second side story on the Rainbow Crate special editions we learn that Wymack was willing to marry her and disappointed that Kevin wasn’t his. We know that Kevin is 20 in 2006, and that Exy is 30 years old, also that Kayleigh and Tetsuji created it as a college project back in Japan when they were around 19. We also know that Wymack is at the most 42. So he would’ve been around 22-23 when Kevin was born.
We also know that Wymack and Kayleigh met when she ALREADY was teaching it. Exy is around 10 years older than Kevin, which means that Kayleigh was almost 30 when she had him. So that age difference, and Kayleigh refusing to tell Wymack that Kev was his makes me wonder what are your thoughts on her actions? To me, she was way to grown to be acting that messy.
First of all, thank you for listening to the pod and for sending in this ask!
Second of all, we have NOT yet talked about Wymack and Kayleigh's age difference! We didn't even realize there was one! We had just assumed they were around the same age.
Unfortunately, after I (Oona) sent a screenshot of this ask to Nate, we did not have what you'd call an "intelligent" "discussion" about the Wymackayleigh (Daviday?) age gap lmao

Okay I know there’s a lot of outrage over the special addition books on aftg twt right now cause they were a lot of money… (I get it, I’m broke okay)
But Im Like lowkey cackling at all the mistakes
Like what the actual fuck. It’s just so funny to me- like I’m kicking my feet over here
Andrew is listed as a backliner
Allison is a striker
The raven king dust jacket has the foxhole court summary on the back
The foxes vs ravens ticket is from 2014 not 2007
Oh and let’s not forget the only mistake they MEANT to keep in as an homage to the original books. The double chapter 13s
It’s like an eye spy of mistakes over here!
But I am absolutely in love with Nora’s little stick figure drawings on the dust jackets. Like hello??? How cute?! Like thank you @korakos , I appreciate you with my entire heart and soul. I smiled so big when I saw that (lowkey, makes it worth every penny)

Special Editions
All for the Game Rainbow Crate Edition
It's been the best part of a year since I last did an unboxing post. I have still been receiving subscription boxes, and I've even been taking photos of them, with the intention of catching up on my blog posts, but it's now been so long that the idea of sitting down and catching up on ten months of posts is just too daunting.
So I'm just going to forget all the ones I've missed, and start afresh.
And here it is - the big one. Rainbow Crate's hardback editions of the original "All for the Game" trilogy!
There's been a lot of complaints online about these - they were a lot of money, and people have been really disappointed. But I have to say, I am so, so impressed with these books!
The reason people are complaining is that there are some printing errors on the dust jackets. Basically, some of the information on the flaps is wrong, and the blurbs have been mixed around. But it's only the dust jackets that are wrong, and that is such an easy fix.
And Rainbow Crate handled it really well, in my opinion. Before I'd even received my books, I had an email from them with a form to order replacement dust jackets for free. An easy solution.
I can't help but compare this to the last set of messed-up special editions I received, which was The Raven Cycle by Owlcrate. They had the exact same issue - the dust jackets were misprinted. For them, it was the colour that was wrong - they'd been printed green instead of blue. But instead of reprinting the dust jackets, they refused to acknowledge their mistake, and brushed people off.
Looking back, I really do think that was what made me lose my passion for this blog, and consequentially, for reading in general. I've really struggled to find joy in it ever since, and have moved on to new things. I just spent so much time stewing over it, that I got into a really bad mindset.
But maybe these Rainbow Crate editions will save me!
Dust Jackets:
I have to say, when they first announced their jacket design, I wasn't that excited about it. But it has grown on me, and I really like it now, despite the fact that it looks more like Enhypen fanart than Foxes artwork! Rainbow Crate also changed the jacket font after they went on sale. I don't know why they made the change after the artwork had already been finalised, but it made such a huge difference! The artwork looks so much better with the new, bolder font.
The inside of the jackets have the original (terrible) self-published cover designs, but they're sharper and foiled and not off-centre, so actually they somehow look professional?! I'm impressed that they managed to save those designs! The originals were awful, but the Rainbow Crate versions look nice!
Hardcase:
I actually almost wish that I had ordered two copies, although I really couldn't have afforded it. Because the hardcase designs are so gorgeous, I want to be able to display them! I've always loved this character art by llstarcasterll, so I'm thrilled to have it on the covers!
And I didn't realised there would be ribbon bookmarks, but I've never been so impressed with such a small detail! I always think a ribbon bookmark really makes a special edition, but these ones go so much further. They're each printed with a different quote! When I saw that, honestly, I was blown away!
Tumblr media
Endpapers:
The endpapers are designed by my absolute favourite AFTG artist, ouijacine, so I was going to love them, no matter what. There are six different endpapers, two per book, and they're all beautiful.
I don't know what the rules are about selling art a publisher or subscription box has commissioned, but I'm hoping she'll be able to sell these as prints on her website, because I would definitely love to have some of these on my wall.
Tumblr media
Sprayed Edges:
The edges are fairly standard, with the fox paw, key, and chess piece design stencilled in white, but I really like that the background colour for each one isn't just solid, it matches the dust jacket design. I guess this isn't quite so good if you're planning to display them with the reverse jackets or as naked hardcases. But I think they're still nice anyway.
And bonus points because even the outbox was amazing?! They'd had a special orange AFTG shipping box made, with a fox print on top, and quotes from the books. My one criticism with this is that it was very snug to the books, so if there had been any damage to the outbox, it probably would have transferred through to the books. A bit more room for bubble wrap would have been good. But it was so special coming home and seeing this beautiful orange box waiting on my doorstep, and knowing exactly what was inside!
Tumblr media
I haven't read the bonus chapters yet, but I believe there's one at the end of each book. And all three books had tip-in signatures, which makes them extra special.
Overall, this was a total win, in my eyes. I think they've done a really good job with these editions, and there isn't anything more I could have asked from them. The only issue is with the misprinted jackets, and I was really impressed with the way Rainbow Crate resolved it so quickly and easily.

Thinking about Andrew painting his nails and if he does it himself or if maybe Renee does it after their sparing matches. Does he let it fully chip off before repainting them. Is he layering the nail polish over all of the chips so it’s an uneven mess. Does he chip away the nail polish when he’s standing in goal. Does he ever paint little designs on them. Does he paint Neil’s nails eventually. Many questions, many questions
