I can't wait to read the full book! I absolutely loved The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was such a cozy, heart warming hug. I am excited to read this one in it's entirety.

I felt a bit duped when I realized I received an excerpt of the novel, but I know that's my fault for not looking deeper into the description - I was just so excited to see Somewhere Beyond the Sea as an option!

Though I wasn't able to get too deep into the book, I felt as if I had fallen right back into the world of the Cerulean Sea. It was lovely and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the novel.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc excerpt!

I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea, so I was so excited to see that we could get even just a little bit of book 2!

I am so happy to see Arthur and Linus together, and with the kiddos too! I'm really looking forward to seeing them and the kids grow emotionally and overcome all of the hard things they've dealt with in their past. I can not wait for the full version!!!

*Excerpt Only*

💥 Pub Date: 9/10/2024

Just an excerpt, but I'm so excited for this sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea! What you can expect from this author: excellent world building, beautifully painted feelings & emotions, and characters you will just fall in love with. 🥹 So excited for this book!

🗣 Thank you to netgalley and Tor for the opportunity to read and review this excerpt via gifted eARC! All opinions are honest and my own.

OBSESSED. I couldn’t have loved this sequel more! TJ Klune is such a beautiful writer. These are some of the most lovable characters I’ve read about in years. It’s magical, sweet and endearing. Absolutely loved it.

While we were only gifted a snippet of the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, it immediately won me over. I went from tearing up at a glimpse of Arthur before the children to laughing out loud through the opening sequence reintroducing them. Klune is a must read/must purchase for me and my community. I can’t wait to get the whole book!

Didn’t realize this was just a teaser, I’m devastated! Already drawn back into this beautiful world with lovely characters. I cannot wait for the release date!

I thought this was the full book but apparently it wasn't. Oops!

Either way, the vibes were immaculate and really felt just like The House in the Cerulean Sea. I'm happy to start to get insight into Arthur's life and past.

This was such a tease for the release in September, but it definitely made me even more excited to dive back into this world! Especially while my husband was reading the first one for the first time!

I'm so excited for this story to continue. I loved starting with a brief flashback for Arthur and then continuing our beloved characters after the end of the last adventure. I only wish the excerpt was longer. I cannot wait to get the rest of this story!

We are back on the island with Arthur, Linus, and the magical children we have all grown to love. After a quick flashback to Arthur’s return to the island to refurbish the house that will become home for several magical wards, we dive right in to the main storyline. I really enjoyed how this story started by providing an overview of the main characters and their abilities through recent events at the homestead. It allowed for the reader to be reacquainted without feeling redundant. After 4 chapters, I am hooked and left with a bit of a cliff hanger. I can’t wait for the release of the full publication in September to find out how this story will continue to unfold.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by T. J. Klune is available September 10, 2024. Check it out!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advance 4 chapter preview in exchange for an honest review.

This book delivered that enthralling whimsical writing/story telling style we have come to know and love from this author. I loved this book and am excited to keep reading more from this author.

The Magical Babies are the best part about this story. I am definitely excited to see where the story goes and revisit with Linus, Arthur, and all of their kids as the navigate the political circle to create changes for the magical humans, I am confident that should they fail to inspire love for the rest of the magical Babies, Lucy, and Theodore will happily burn the world to the ground while Chauncey carries their bags.

The same whimsical style we have come to love from this author. I cant wait to devour the whole book!

Okay so the political relevancy of this book is crazily paralleling the real world and I’m obsessed. The snippet I was given was a perfect amount of re-introduction to the world I grew to love in the first book, while scratching the surface of the conflict we’ll be covering in this one. As it’s only the first 70 pages, there wasn’t too much unexpected action or plot twisting in this excerpt which makes sense. I can’t wait to see Arthur & Linus’ relationship with each other, their family, and the world evolve throughout the story once it releases in September.

I somehow missed that this wasn't the entire book but let me tell you, I am absolutely feral for the rest of this story!! Klune's writing is.mafical and I can't wait.to see where he takes this story next!

Thank you Netgalley for an e-ARC of the first four chapters of my most anticipated fall release, Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune!

We have returned to the House in the Cerulean Sea where Arthur is preparing to fight for his home and family alongside Linus by making a public appearance and sharing his story with others that may have already developed their own versions of his story. It's time to throw stones in the water and make ripples.

If you love stories of found family, inspiration, equality for all, magical happenings, delightful blobs that ink, just to name a few, you will not want to miss this!

The story picks up right where it left off and draws you back in in those first four chapters. My only complaint is that it was only 4 chapters and I have to wait for September to read the rest. 😭

I was so excited for this book and the sample did not disappoint. TJ Klune has created a world that is lush and beautiful with characters that I would fight for. I cannot wait to read the rest of this when it publishes!

The tease was not enough!! I loved coming back to this family. The tease also made me realize that I need to go back and read the first one before this one comes out.

“𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙪𝙨. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙨, 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚.”

Even though the excerpt is only four chapters long, I loved every minute of it. TJ Klune’s writing is truly something special. The way he creates will grab your attention right away and make you feel as if you’re right along with the characters.

I’m so excited to go back into this world with Arthur, Linus, and all the magical children. “The House in the Cerulean Sea” was such a wonderful and brilliant book made up of unique characters and the most interesting world building. The opening scene was beyond adorable and heartwarming. I just love those kids. In “Somewhere Beyond the Sea,” we get Arthur’s POV and more of his history. He’s going up against the DICOMY (Department in Charge of Magical Youth), to bring equality to all magical people, and to show people how he was treated by the government for being different.

I can already tell SBTS is going to be filled with the TJ humor and emotions we all know and love, along with a beautiful story, just like THITCS, I’m counting down the days until this book releases! Highly recommend reading THITCS before this one to get a better connection to the character and plot. This book will for sure be a top read of 2024!
