All in all pretty good job! I can see a great deal of improvement over the set.
First thing I notice though is that you haven't been drawing shallow perspective boxes. These are boxes that have their vanishing points very far away from the page, and are in general more common in drawing that the extreme perspective boxes, the ones have been doing are.
So I recommend you to practice on your next warmups shallow perspective boxes, as they are pretty important.
I notice that you still have a few issues through the challenge with the inner corner. Making the boxes on this order helped me a lot with it. Hope it helps too.
Next Steps:
Overall pretty good job! I recommend as I said to make some shallow perspective boxes on your warmups following the demo I posted, and then replying them to me here if you wanna have them critique, I'll gladly look over them. Good luck on lesson 2, and keep up the good work!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
