Blog Tour Review - The Fall Is All There Is by C.M. Caplan

 Blog Tour Review - The Fall Is All There Is by C.M. Caplan All Petre Mercy wanted was a good old-fashioned dramatic exit from his life as a prince. But it's been five years since he fled home on a cyborg horse. Now the King—his Dad—is dead—and Petre has to decide which heir to pledge his thyroid-powered sword to. As the youngest in a set of quadruplets, he’s all too aware that the line of succession is murky. His siblings are on the precipice of power grabs, and each of them want him to pick their side. If Petre has any hope of preventing civil war, he'll have to avoid one sibling who wants to take him hostage, win back another’s trust after years of rivalry and resentment, and get an audience with a sister he's been avoiding for five years. Before he knows it, he's plunged himself into a web of intrigue and a world of strange, unnatural inventions just to get to her doorstep. Family reunions can be a special form of torture.

NYA Lit Fest - Everything else



The panels at the first Northern YA Literary Festival were all excellent. But there was a lot more going on over the course of the day.

Here's a quick round up.

There were signing panels, with all of the authors on the panels signing books at least once during the day. I took "a few" books with me, and got them all signed!


One absolute highlight of the signing panels was Katherine Webber recognising me and giving me a hug for being so supportive of her book, Wing Jones. I also got a hug off Anna Day, so it was a good hugging authors day for me!

Taken Moons Candles had a beautifully decorated stall selling bookish candles all day. I picked up one of Rebecca's Does That Feel Noble candles, inspired by The Cruel Prince. I also got to meet Rebecca's mum, who was helping out, and Aimee took a turn selling candles while Rebecca went to meet an author.



There were loads of goodies from publishers too. As a special thank you to the Northern Book Bloggers for the work we put in publicising the event, we all got goody bags with swag in them, and I came away with four new arcs, as well as badges, stickers, bookmarks, a lollipop, a Children of Blood and Bone tote bag and more!


There were lots of other bloggers there too, people that I've spoken to online, and it was lovely to meet them and talk to them in person. I met Faye, Jess, Lydia and Rosie. This was on top of the pleasure of getting to spend a lot more time with some of the Northern Book Bloggers, particularly while travelling there and home again.

We also had a proper Northern Book Bloggers photoshoot with the official event photographer, that was a lot of fun!




The Northern YA Literary Festival was my first big literary event, and it was an absolute blast! I've already got tickets for another one, CHCC YA Fest in May, and I am absolutely thrilled that the Northern festival has been confirmed for next year!
