This was a sneak peak for the audiobook for somewhere beyond the sea by TJ Klune. I absolutely love the House in the Cerulean Sea and I am so very excited for this book. The first two chapters were perfect and I am so excited to continue to read this book.

I didn't realize this was a sneak peek until after I had requested it. (Even though I should have as it's literally right there in the headline!)

Even so, just getting to listen to the first hour of this book has gotten me so hyped for it! Diving back into the world of Arthur Parnassus and his magical island in the sea... Well, it was just as beautiful as I expected.

Also, I feel like they got the same narrator for this one as the first. (As best I can remember from reading the first book way back when.) Either way, the narrator is excellent. Perfect for setting the tone and giving you a real feel for the characters.

I am so fracking excited for this book. I just can't wait!

Naturally, I didn't read the not-so-fine print, where it clearly stated SNEAK PEEK.

Ah well, I suppose I'll have to read the rest with my eye balls.

So far, so good. I loved the wee bit of prequel, before jumping straight to where we left off in Cerulean Sea.

The narrator is the same as the first book, and he does a great job. I particularly like Chauncy.

Cannot wait to inhale the rest.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this sneaky peeky tiny taste of an ARC.

I cannot wait to return to Arthur, Lucy, and the rest of this chaotic crew! In just the early moments of this sequel, I can tell it will be just as whimsical and delightful as House on the Cerrulean Sea.

It was interesting to listen to an excerpt of the audiobook since I read a physical copy of the first book. I will say - the kids' voices were PERFECT! Spot on! Though, Arthur's voice felt a little pretentious to me, almost like he could be a villain. That could just be me, and if that's how he sounds in book one, continuity is far more important!

Thank you for access to the audio sneak peek!

This was so cute! I am so excited for the rest of this book and I will definitely be purchasing a copy. The narrator is fantastic and is incredibly skilled at portraying multiple voices.

OMGGGG...can this book come out already?! I thought I was excited before the sneak peek and now...I am so mad at myself for the tease! TJ Klune, this wonderful world you have created needed this sequel, and so do I. This starts up with Arthur's past and opens up another side of the world we came to know. The narrator voices the kids adorably and really brings a unique quality to each of them. For a 36 page peek, this already has me hooked!

Thanks to NetGalley for the book teaser!

Very cute! The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of my favorite books of all time, so this is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. There's not much to this sneak peek in terms of plot, it's mostly just reconnecting you with all the characters and seeing them live happy lives. For that reason, I'm only giving the sneak peek a 4 star rating as it didn't get me any more excited than I already was for the book, more like it just was a sweet listen that I went "ah yes, I do love these characters".

Not necessary to listen to if you're trying to build up your excitement, but still nice all the same!

Thank you MacMillan for the early sneak peek at a highly anticipated book! I am so glad to hear the voice of Daniel Henning back to make Klune's magic even more magical and endearing. A generous sneak peek of the first ~30 minutes was a most welcome joy for me in the early morning commute today.
With appreciative anticipation for the whole book, thank you!

All I can say is that this sneak peek was fantastic and I am absolutely thrilled for the release of "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" by TJ Klune! As a huge fan of Klune's previous work, I can't wait to dive into more of Arthur's story. Klune's ability to craft heartwarming and thought-provoking tales is unparalleled, and I am eagerly anticipating the magic he will bring to this book. The anticipation is building, and I am counting down the days until I can finally get my hands on it. "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" promises to be another unforgettable journey, and I am beyond excited to embark on it!

I am so excited for the rest of this book. I read house by the cerulean sea and enjoyed it and honestly did not know there would be a sequel but this was so cute. TJ Klune does such a good job with the witty banter between Arthur and Linus and the kids. I enjoyed the narrator as well!

Gah I am SO EXCITED to listen to the rest of this ASAP. I absolutely adored The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was so sweet cozy, sad and hopeful! I have been looking forward to the sequel, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, since I heard about it. Early on it takes you right back to that world with Arthur Parnassus. I am excited about the opportunity to deeper explore the island ad its history as well as the kids who are just the best.

Thank you NetGalley and Tor for the opportunity to listen to this sneak peek. Looking forward to 9/17 to read the rest!

I CANNOT WAIT for this book to come out! The sneak peak had me right back in the Cerulean Sea world with Arthur. The narration was beautifully performed and the beginning of the story had me engaged straight from the start.
