So excited for this book…the preview wasn’t long enough. I love the first book and from what I’ve heard the quality and writing is just as good as the first.

OMG!!!! This book is going to be soooooo good. I cannot wait to get the rest of it. I was very excited to get a sneak peek at the audiobook and ebook. I just know that TJ Klune is going to deliver all the feels in this story!

I hope that this book lives up to the expectations. Having a sequel to such a fantastic read is a very brave move. It could go very well or very poorly, but I can't tell from this short preview.

I had the spectacular joy and pleasure of already reading a four-chapter excerpt, but to now put voices to our beloved characters… my heart is just so happy.
Daniel Henning’s narrating, once again, is the cherry on top of the delicious cake that T.J. Klune has served us with Somewhere Beyond the Sea. Pure magic!
Thank you Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this advanced sneak peek!

Issuing a sneak peek into the first hour of the long awaited sequel to TJ Klune's most beloved and magical story is a cruel punishment but it worked, now I'm even more excited to read the whole book! This is Arthur's story, starting with a brief prequel and then moving forward to present day where Arthur is the master of an orphanage for dangerous and magical children on a distant island. There's nothing better than adding a new perspective to beloved characters and stories. So far it's just as magical and entertaining as The House in the Cerulean Sea and Daniel Henning is just as wonderful as the audiobook narrator. Even my surly teenage kids are excited for this one!

This is my most anticipated book of the year. Being able to listen to Daniel Henning once again bring life to these amazing characters is a whole experience. I cannot wait to see where Arthur's story goes with this new tale.

This Sneak Peek for Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune was AMAZEBALLS! The writing yall! The writing, characters and storytelling are chef's kiss! I can't wait to read the entire book soon. This sneak peek has ramped up my excitement. Klune is magic!

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!

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this audiobook sneak peek! I adore this narrator, and I am so excited to be back with these characters in September. I can’t wait for the giddiness to come!!

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.

Now this just makes me want to read the book! Why must I wait.!!! I love the sneak peak but it is almost torture.

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!

EEEEEEEEK i am so so glad we're getting a sequel! can't wait until the full book comes out, i think it's gonna be a good addition to the world.

5 Stars
This little sneak peak takes us right back to the house in the cerulean sea. I can tell just from this little bit that this will be another 5 star read. I cannot wait to read the rest of this book!
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillian audio for this sneak peak!

This sneak peek was absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed that Daniel Henning is narrating this book in the series as well! I'm looking forward to listening to the whole book when it comes out!
