Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English. Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

Goodreads Choice Award：兩集都入圍Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction（2023和2024）（2024年獎項名稱改為「Readers' Favorite Young Adult Fantasy」但應該就是承接以前項目啦，還超誇張把以前的也都改掉，明明以前就是有「& Science Fiction」的部份！）

同世界觀：The Folk of the Air

這部時間點應該是前作的九年後。

作者2022年6月分享此延伸系列的消息^{[作者Facebook文]}。

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts The following section, basically a gallery of editions around the world with different book cover art, is largely inspired by treatments of fellow blogger Amethyst, who unfortunately hasn't done those types of blog posts for a while. Please DO NOT mistaken the following to be all existing editions; I'm only including completed sets with matching designs. All clickable images are linked to respective editions on GR; people, shelving correct editions ain't that hard. Highly recommend accurate shelving. =D

American English | 美式英文

封面與前作相同，由Sean Freeman繪製。

hrvatski | Croatian | 克羅埃西亞文


British English | 英式英文 （FairyLoot Exclusive）

本來希望等實體書寄出後有購買者能提供ISBN再列（我好龜毛xD） 但看到有人在GR上建頁面了，就列上來囉！這個版本就跟這箱子為前作所製的版本差異相當大，印象中上次沒有書衣？只有色系相當聖誕節的裸封面😅目前還沒看到這版拿掉書衣底下的樣子～有內幕者歡迎提供喔！箱子的官方資訊^{[箱子官網一][二]}～封面由波蘭籍繪師Magdalena Pągowska繪製^{[繪師ArtStation]}。我沒有覺得不好看，只是兩集長得有點像，讓我每次都要多看幾眼確認（被揍死）（就是如果沒有兩者擺在一起，我可能真的會以為是同一張圖）（被踹）

British English | 英式英文 （Illumicrate Exclusive）

這個GR上面只有第一集有頁面而且還不是平面圖，本來想要等，但後來想想，我一堆非正式的書衣版本，都每集各別鑲嵌繪師提供的無標題版本了，這個有箱子提供的官方資訊，好像沒道理不比照辦理～～基本上跟這箱子為前作一樣，裸封面（？）設計只說是出版社提供的那樣～在想這個會不會也跟之前一樣，實體比示意圖好看很多？🤔（但願如此😂）而書衣也跟前次一樣，由Rosie Fowinkle^{[繪師官網]}以紙雕的型式製成。第一集的細節供參^{[繪師Instagram文]}～
