Round-up of the Blog Tour

Well, that was exhausting!  Thank you everyone who hosted a Blog Tour spot, and for reviewing the book, interviewing me and George and all the other fascinating things that went on.  And of course HUGE thanks to Renee at MotherDaughterBookReviews.com for organising it, and for finding the photo of Viggo Mortensen (I know how hard that was for you).

I thought I’d just do a round-up of the new reviews for The Princelings of the East.  They were lovely, insightful and varied, and I thank everyone for the effort put in to read and review it by the due date.  I know it’s not always easy!  There’s a snippet and a link to the original blog, and they are in tour date order.

“I enjoyed every minute of it from beginning to end” Jenny’s review at Baby Bookworms Black writing, white paper

“Bravo, Jemima Pett! You have breathed a breath of fresh air into the children’s fantasy genre.” Brooke Blogs

“A lovely read for all ages, with enough action, adventure, inventiveness, and fun to satisfy the most demanding reader.” Fiona Ingram, Word Magic

“This is a wonderful story with lots of adventure and well-developed characters and plot.” Christina Morley at Amanda’s Books and More

“If you have a young boy who is interested in how things work, and helping others, this could be a great book for him! ” The Reading List

“An interesting mix of quirky and lovable characters.” S W Lothian

“The adorable pencil sketches and titles of each chapter makes this book even more enjoyable and fun.” Christy’s Cosy Corners

“Overall, a pleasant read.  But I wished for a bit more…”  Kirstin Pulioff Fantasy Fun with Kirstin

“Princelings of the East is a bit of a strange book.” Christy’s Houseful of Chaos

“Princelings of the East is an amazing book jam-packed with mystery and action.” Joshua, 13, Published Bestellers

“Definitely a book for people who like to think and read” Stitch Says

“This was a really enjoyable read, memorable in its own right. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!” David Wiley Magical Middle-grade Literature

“An exciting and compelling read for young readers who enjoy mystery as well as time travel” Brittany at Tales of a Bookworm

I hope that the wide range of comments will help people decide to try it for themselves.

It’s certainly been an interesting experience, especially the interviews, both mine and those of Princelings Fred and George.  I hope people go on to read the rest of the trilogy, and then go on to read Hugo’s story in Traveler in Black and White – which is now out in paperback, and if you buy that you can get the ebook free (at Amazon.com).

I’d like to welcome my first reader in Italy. Thanks for joining us!
