I am disappointed, but these covers give me the opportunity to start Book Binding, so maybe something good came out of it after all. That’s not a huge problem to me, but it is annoying to buy a $60+ set of books and not get the quality that the single books have. Also, the Ignite Me spine text is wayyy too big (shown in photo 3) and each book doesn’t say “book “1,2,3,4,5,6” on them (as shown in some other people’s photos). The photos don’t show the blurryness of the Box set as accurately as in real life). I bought these books mainly for display (though I am definitely going to read them) and they just don’t look as good as a couple of my other copies as they are OBVIOUSLY wayyy worse quality (even down to the paper they used to make the cover because the top protective layer is literally PEALING AWAY)As you can see in photos 5, 6, 7, and 8, the box set copy is VERY washed out and MUCH blurrier than my Barnes and Noble copies (the box set is on the left and B&N copy on the right. It’s only drops, but still aggravating to someone who is a stickler for texture (I won’t dare scrape it off though in fear that the spine might rip off with it). Second, there’s very minimal damage to the books themselves, save for some minor damage to to Defy Me (photo 4) and what seems to be some sort of glue stuck to the spine of Shatter Me, Ignite Me, and Restore Me. Ok, first off, I haven’t noticed ANY problems with the printing or anything, so that’s good. Part cautionary tale, part juicy love story, this will appeal to action and adventure fans." - Kirkus Reviews About the Author "Fast-paced action scenes convey imminent danger vividly.
