I very much appreciate being gifted this excerpt of SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA, and the opportunity to read & review it. Thanks to the publisher.. I'm very much looking forward to reading the book.

I want to cry that this only an excerpt, but truthfully I’m just excited I was approved for the ARC at all.

House In The Cerulean Sea remains one of my favorite books. It’s adorable and sweet just like all of TJ Klune’s writing. This book is proving to be the same. The short bit I was lucky enough to read showed me I’m in for more warm fuzzies and feel good moments. There’s definitely a bigger political layer in this that I’m curious to continue reading about.

I really loved the pre story story. I want to know more about Arthur, and I think this is the book where we find out his past.

I cannot wait until September. I wish the company had given us a full ARC, but beggars can’t be choosers. I can’t give this an accurate rating for the book overall, but the first 4 chapters are the beginnings of what I think will be a 5⭐️ read.

Fantastic author! Great pacing and great development for the characters. I was heavily invested in the plot and descriptive settings.

I will probably always endorse a TJ Klune book. I have tried downloading this book for review both on Netgalley and Eideelweiss+ and only received the first four chapters both times, so I feel somewhat unequal to the task of a review. I unfailingly sell and buy Klune's books, and having read part of this one, I expect to give it 4-5 stars. So far, the story set-up is interesting.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series, it was adorable and heart warming. I loved Arthur (and basically all of the characters) in the first book, and this follow up does not disappoint!

TJ MF KLUNE CAN DO NO WRONG! I absolutely love his writing and I'm beyond excited that the House in the Cerulean Sea is getting a sister. That book made me sob and I know this one will do the same. I cannot wait to read the rest of the book!

Thanks for the opportunity to check out this preview! It was so fun to drop back into this world and get a hint at what we have to look forward to. I've preordered the book and will most definitely do a full review once I've received it. I have attached a link to all of TJ Klune's books that I have reviewed on my blog, and once I've read the full book, you'll be able to see the review there. Thanks again!

Getting to read this excerpt made me even more excited for September 10th. I'm interested to see where the story develops especially as it relates to residential homes for children.

Thank you for this teaser. It helped me to remember just how much I adored and have missed the characters in The House in the Cerulean Sea, I will definitely be rereading it before Somewhere Beyond the Sea releases. This excerpt has gotten me so excited and I need more...I cannot wait until September 10th so I can read the full book!

“But I believe the greatest weapon we have at our disposal is our voices. And I am going to use my voice for you, and for me. Hate is loud. We are louder.”

The sequel to The House In The Cerulean Sea. Nothing else needed!

GAHHHHHH How amazing was it to be back with my favorite magical children? Seriously, from the first chapter I was already smiling to myself and could feel my cup filling. I got the absolute pleasure of joining Tor books for an event with Klune and I have to say I think he did a fantastic job getting his point across in this one. This book was dedicated to the Trans community and is not so roughly based on the struggles they face with our political climate, and I could certainly feel his empathy and love for them throughout the book, without it being beat into your head. I could not love these characters more, especially the kids…my heart is just so full and happy to have spent another book with them all!

Thank you to @torbooks for my gifted copy of this book!

I love these misfits so much and getting to read an excerpt of this early was just *chefs kiss*. I cannot wait to binge this as soon as it releases.

Thank you to Netgalley and Tor for the chance to read this excerpt from book two early in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited when I got this excerpt! It's so nice to be back in this world with these characters. I cannot wait for the rest of this book! I will read anything TJ Klune writes forever and ever.

It was wonderful to get a sneak peak of Somewhere Beyond the Sea, a follow up to T.J. Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea. This second book will take us forward as Arther and Linus work together to fight for the rights of magical beings, while also giving us insights into Arthur’s past. This excerpt was full of Klune’s usual strengths—great characters, delightful humor, and love-filled relationships. The excerpt leaves us at the edge of our seat, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I can't wait to read this whole book, the excerpt was just a tease. I can't wait to read the full thing.

Thank you for this ARC!

TJ Klune is an instant buy author for me and I will always pick up anything he has written.

Pull at my heart strings a bit more, TJ Klune! The sequel we have all been waiting for. While I have only read the first four chapters (excerpt only), I can confidently say, you will not be disappointed come September when the book is released!! The author dove right back into the world we left in The House in the Cerulean Sea. As always, TJ Klune’s witty writing had me laughing out loud. The character development that takes place in just four short chapters is remarkable! I cannot wait to get my hands on the whole thing!!

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ARC excerpt!

I need more! I didn’t realize that this wasn’t the full book! I am disappointed that the entire book wasn’t offered. But I did love what I read so far.

Thank you #NetGalley and Tor Publishing for an excerpt of TJ Klune’s second novel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, Somewhere Beyond The Sea. #SomewhereBeyondtheSeaExcerpt #NetGalley

Somewhere Beyond the Sea artfully brings the readers back into the world of Arthur and Linus with their 6 magical children. TJ also interweaves the story of Arthur and focuses more on the story being told from primarily Arthur’s perspective. Although this is only an excerpt this will be another best seller and I cannot wait to read the rest of the book on September 10th!

This was wonderful and awful at the same time. Wonderful, because the writing and characters and setting are brilliant and immediately draw you in. Awful, because it is only an excerpt!! I cannot wait until the book is released! Already preordered!
