Thank you Netgalley and Tor Books for an e-ARC excerpt of the first 70 pages of this book in exchange for a review.
ADORABLE! So cute and I will likely be picking up the book to be able to read the rest. 70 pages was not enough to get into the meat of the story, but it was so nice to be back with these characters and immersed in their world again!!
This was a tease! I really enjoyed this excerpt and I’m really looking forward to the book! I may need to re-read the first book though, it did take me a little bit to remember the characters.
Thank you Netgalley for the digital preview.
TJ Klune is one of my favourite authors, while reading this excerpt of Somewhere Beyond the Sea i kept wishing it was the whole book, i'm so excited to read the remainder of Somewhere Beyond the Sea.
So bummed that this turned out to just be a sample and not the actual arc, and that wasn't listed anywhere, it just puts a bad taste in my mouth. That being said, it was wonderful and I cannot wait to read the book.
I was sad this was a sample and not the full book. I can’t wait for this one to release. This author is amazing at cozy fantasy and I am dying to read the full book!
Tj never fails to write a beautiful story and he did it once again. I love this little family and it was so wonderful to see how author feels and his past while not the happy childhood how he healed and made his future all his. He was fiercely protective of his family and I just never wanted to leave this world.
Delightful start to the book. It’s every bit as good as I remember the first one being. A colleague with a full ARC did warn me this one got a little darker though. I look forward to reading the whole book.
I cannot wait until this book is released on September 10th! TJ Klune is one of my auto reads/buys because he is an amazing writer, and his stories are so beautifully written with well-developed characters. I have had this book pre-ordered since he announced it, and I was so happy to see that there was an except available on NetGalley. It was so interesting to see how the children are growing up, and I am very excited to see where this book will take us.
This excerpt has gotten me in a cerulean mood!! The tiny taste of Book 2 has got me ravenous for more. I can't wait to see the rest of what's in store for Linus, Arthur, and the most magical children around. The story picks up right where Book 1 left off and we're already given the cutest of family moments before our two leading men head off to the city to try and change the rules for magical beings. Thanks so much TJ Klune, Tor Publishing Group, and NetGalley for the chance to get a head start on Somewhere Beyond the Sea. Can't wait!
I love The House in the Cerulean Sea when I read it, and I am so excited to read this sequel. The excerpt has the great writing we know, and a look into the characters lives after the first and also a look into Author's story before he became the caregiver of the orphaned kids. I am excited to see more of where this story goes and more of the world we love.
What a delight to be back in this world. I did a relisten of book one so I was fully immersed in the world and I’m glad I did. I’d forgotten quite a bit and it brought me write back into this cozy fantasy of magical creatures and found family. Can’t wait to finish it!
So excited to be immersed in this world again! I loved House in the Cerulean Sea and I cannot wait to see what happens next for these beloved characters! Sad this was only an excerpt from the book, but still looking forward to reading the rest of this story!
Oh, how I loved returning to Marsyus Island to be with Arthur, Linus, and all the children. At times hilarious and at other times heartbreaking, this is a must read! If you loved The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, then you will adore Somewhere Beyond the Sea. In this book, Arthur has to testify in front of the Department in Charge of Magical Youth; although he thinks he is speaking out for the children in his care and all magical beings, his words become twisted and he finds himself at the center of a brewing storm between magical and non-magical people everywhere. A new child, David, joins them on the island. Arthus and Linus (and the children) show David what it means to be part of something bigger than himself - he learns what it means to be a part of a family. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars! Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
I cannot wait to read the entire book. This world is a place a hope and belonging. I am so grateful that we get to return.
Thank you @torbooks #partner for sharing this snippet and teaser of what’s to come!
This book just made me even more excited of what’s to come in the full version! If you have not read The House in the Cerulean Sea yet NOW is your time because this one comes out next week! I cannot wait to see what comes of Arthur and his adoptive children in this one! The short snippet reminded me of why I loved the first one! There is SO much heart in these books!
I am anxiously awaiting September 10th to be able to jump into the whole story again!
I received an excerpt from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a review.
Let me say that this excerpt is such a tease! The House in the Cerulean Sea is my favorite book of all time, so to say I was excited when I heard about a sequel is an understatement. This book picks up right where the last one left off. Even though I’ve only read 4 chapters, I know that I am going to enjoy the rest of it. Definitely recommend rereading the first book before moving to this one if it’s been a while.
TJ Klune is an exceptional author and this teaser has me desperate for September 10th. I cannot wait to see the wonders that Klune continues to work through his writing in Somewhere Beyond the Sea.
I was thrilled to receive an excerpt from TJ Klune’s latest novel, Somewhere Beyond the Sea. I absolutely adored The House in the Cerulean Sea and couldn’t wait to dive back into the lives of Arthur and Linus and their magical children. TJ Klune’s writing style is incredibly sensory, the reader is immediately immersed into the story. It’s tender, loving, and funny. My only complaint is that I was only able to read the first 4 chapters! I can’t wait to find out where this story of love, acceptance and inclusivity takes us. I already know it will be another masterpiece. 5/5⭐️
I didn't read closely enough to see that this was a teaser and not the full book, but I loved what I read and I cannot wait to read the whole book!
I mean.....in my mind TJ Klune can do no wrote.....except only doing a sneak peak! just kidding ....but not really because I cannot wait to continue this book - House on the Cerulean sea is one of my favorite books of all time so when a sequel was announced I knew I had to get my hands on it!
This book is going to be perfection
