So excited for this release! The small snippet of this excerpt isn’t much, but it is plenty to get fans ready for the next story of Linus & Arthur.

AH! I wish this was the entire book and not just an excerpt! TJ Klune is absolutely brilliant! I love his writing! I have not read a single one of his books that I did not love, and I know that Somewhere Beyond the Sea will be no different once I finally get to read it. Truly magical!

I was delighted to read an excerpt from the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea. There’s the most beautiful tearjerker of a scene where the kids throw a birthday celebration for Linus, and it encapsulates everything we have come to love about these characters.

It certainly seems like the story is moving in a political direction with Arthur’s testimony before a government committee. The symbolism tracks with what’s happening in real life in real time, and I look forward to reading the rest of the book!

Where do I even begin? I'm so beyond excited for this to come out! It feels like I've been waiting forever for this book to finally come out. And this excerpt did such a good job setting the stage and what people can expect in the fall!

The long-awaited sequel to The House on the Cerulean Sea, I already ordered 6 copies to my store based only on the excerpt - and I have customer orders for it as well. It pulled me in and filled me with the homey, loving aura that pervades this most wholesome of Klune's books. I can't wait to read the whole thing!

God, coming to the end of the provided excerpt was genuinely painful. Seeing the characters we loved so much in House On the Cerulean Sea back as a loving family unit has truly healed my heart. This is definitely the top book on my TBR, I'm yeeting everything else out the window the moment it's released.

On the day this book completely releases I will be *adding to cart.*. Wow. I have heard TJ Klune's books were remarkable but have been dragging my feet reading any of their work until recently. Fantastic!

It was such a joy returning to this world and these characters!! This small excerpt filled my heart with joy and I cannot wait to read the full book!!

Thanks for this little snippet of this book! I am so excited for this one! The first book is one of my all-time favorites and I can't wait to continue this story!!

I was so beyond excited to see that TJ Klune is writing a follow up to The House on the Cerulean Sea that I just had to read this excerpt. The excerpt just skyrocketed my interest in his next book - can't wait to read more about Arthur and Linus' relationship and the kids they care for.

This tugged at my heartstrings and I can't wait for the full book release. It's going to be amazing!

I guess I didn't realize this was an excerpt and now utterly bereft T what feels like an eternity for the book release. Fantastic!

This was a phenomenal first 4 chapters. The pure love in the mission of the orphanage is so heartwarming, and I know I am speaking for all the readers when I say, we are loving the backstories. The pacing is incredible so far, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the book and enjoy the story/characters more.

I find it hard to write a review for the book, since this was only an excerpt. However, this is still one of my most anticipated release of the year.

I thoroughly enjoyed diving back into their world and watching Arthur and Linus interact with the children. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started reading their story again. It was very heart-warming and I feel like this will be a perfect winter cozy read. I’m looking forward to posting a full review once I’ve read the entire book.

With just a handful of chapters, I can already tell this book is going to be great.. I couldn't put it down or stop thinking of it. Leaning his forehead against Linus’s, Arthur whispered, “Let them listen to what joy sounds like. Maybe they’ll learn a thing or two.”... This book is going to make me cry uncontrollably, isn't it?

It’s nearly impossible to review an excerpt of a book because we obviously aren’t given the entire story. I felt duped by this tactic if I’m honest. It felt like a way to generate a lot 5 star reviews by fans of the beloved The House in the Cerulean Sea without providing the actual book. Setting those negative feelings aside, revisiting these characters felt like coming home. I very much look forward to reading the entire book.

Loved this excerpt!! It had the same flow as book one and reading about the characters again made me happy. I am extremely excited for the full book to come out!

What a wonder except that starts off pulling you in immediately to the wonder of the island! I cannot wait to read the full book upon release!

Having loved The House on the Cerulean Sea, I was excited to learn there was a sequel coming. When I found this excerpt I was so excited to get a copy. It didn't disappoint and now I can't wait for the official novel to come out. TJ Klune is such an excellent writer and his stories run so deep. The characters in these novels are so well developed and each have their own personality. The reader can find something in at least one, if not more, of the characters and relate to them and how they are viewed or treated. I was a little disappointed that it was only an excerpt and not the whole novel. It definitely gave the necessary tease that the publisher was hoping for in creating excitement for this release. September 10th can't come soon enough, and I will definitely be picking up a copy of Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

Absolutely fabulous.
Within 8 pages I was nearly in tears. Getting to see more of Arthur’s past, as well as returning to this world and found family I adore, was exactly what I wanted.
The vibes are perfect and immediately take you back to the cosy, wrapped in a blanket feeling of House in the Cerulean Sea.
I can’t wait to get to read the rest.
