OMG. Now I can't wait for the book to come out so I can read more. , That little tease was just too little but enough to make me want more.

This excerpt of Somewhere Beyond the Sea has the first four chapters of the book which I enjoyed. Happy to be back in this world and can't wait for the rest of it

I absolutely cannot wait for this book, the first one was so sweet and heartfelt, and from the excerpt I can tell this one will be just as amazing. I'm almost sad that I read the excerpt now, because I am DYING to finish the book, and I have so long to wait!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced excerpt for an honest review!

When I realized this was only an excerpt, I felt robbed! Trying to summon the inner patience to wait for the rest come September.

I feel so incredibly grateful to get more from this wonderful family! These children give me so much joy, I could burst. Can't wait to read the rest of the story.

For fans of The House in the Cerulean Sea, you will not be disappointed with this sequel!

I'm so excited I could cry. I need MORE. The excerpt is so great but it made me sad because I have to wait to read the full thing. Klune is such an incredible writer, this is going to be a knockout.

The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of my top 10 favorite books and this excerpt was so much like reading the first book. The magical children are my favorite. I like how different they all are and the things they say make me laugh out loud. I'm glad to be able to read about the events that happen after the first book. This book begins when Arthur is invited to testify about the treatment of magical beings and Linus accompanies him to the city. The children are being left on the island with Zoe and Mayor Helen.

This looks to be as delightful as The House in The Cerulean Sea. I can’t wait to read all of it and hopefully learn what has happened to all of the original characters!

I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea and cannot wait until Somewhere Beyond the Sea is released. This excerpt is a little tease back into this world! I am sure I will love this book as much as the first so I will go ahead and give this 4 stars for now.

This is going to be amazing. can not wait to read the rest, so well written as always, Characters are so so good.

Picked up right where we left off with our lovable main character. I dove right into the pages of this excerpt and cannot wait to read the book upon release this fall. TJ Klune’s writing sets a setting that envelops the reader and his characters feel like close friends.

I was a huge fan of The House of the Cerulean Sea, and I can't believe I was lucky enough to read this excerpt. I really connect to Linus so it is wonderful to see a continuation of his relationship both to the children of the orphanage but also to Arthur. House in the Cerulean Sea is self contained, but it really feels like the first steppingstone in a greater world dying to be explored in depth. I'm thankful that TJ Klune brought us back to their world to continue on.

Here's to a a sequel that is assured to be as good as the original story we all fell in love with.

I received an arc of an excerpt of the ebook through NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group.

So far I am giving this book 5 stars. I didn’t realize it was only an excerpt when I applied for this arc. It is the ghost 4 chapters of the book.

This is the second book in the Cerulean Chronicles. This book is Arthur Parnassus’s story. While it does give some of his past, it takes place after the first book, House on the Cerulean Sea.

So far I’m loving this book! I was quickly reminded of Arthur and Linus, and all the kids living with them as well as their magical abilities. Linus has moved in and is now an integral part of the household and the Atrthur’s love.

The two men have left the house to go to the government to speak about magical beings rights. He has kept these kids (as well as his own abilities) hidden on the island for a long time, and he and Linus know they need to speak out in order for the world to accept them and understand them. They are also hoping to bring home another magical boy, David.

As they reach the I government building there are supporters as well as protestors. They quickly find they have some friends who want to help them, and that they have some opposition that wants to put a stop to them.

I can’t wait to read the whole book because this has already drawn me in. It leaves off right from the first book and is written just as beautifully.

I cannot wait for the full book!! TJ Klune created such an amazing world and I never want it to end. This gave me the taste I needed to be way more excited than I already was.

This got me so excited for the actual book. Can't wait to dive into this world again. TJ. Klune is an auto buy author for me since House in the cerulean sea

Pub Date: Sep 10 2024

I was so excited to receive this excerpt and although it wasn't the full book, I am still so happy that I got a sneak peak back into this world.

From what I read, TjJ Klune's writing still dazzles me and I can already tell I will fall right back into love with the setting and the characters. I am prepared to laugh, cry and love with my whole heart.

The followup to the whimsical House in the cerulean sea, this is now Arthur's story and where he gets to shine (or ahem, burn brightly may be more accurate). All of your favorite characters in the first book return in this delightful sequel as well as some fascinating new ones. Again themes of tolerance of others, acceptance of oneself, and found family ring throughout the pages. Makes you want to give an extra hug your kids, loved ones and pets.

I was hesitant to pick up this book, wondering if TJ Klune could follow up The House Across the Cerulean Sea with anything that would match its workmanship but from the excerpt I read of this book, I think he’s done it again.

Klune throw the reader back into the novel with the same intensity as the first and I can already see how whimsical, heart wrenching and beautiful this story will be. I will definitely be picking this one up as soon as it hits shelves.

I cannot wait for the full book! I don't really think it's fair to rate an excerpt of a book, so I'm picking four stars for now.

I cannot WAIT until this novel comes out. Stocking up on tissues because Klune always leaves me a blubbering mess. If the remaining pages are even half as good as this excerpt, I'm devouring it.

It’s so fun being back I. This world and with these characters. I cannot wait to get the full novel and finish out this leg of the story!!!
