I was able to listen to a roughly one hour sneak peek of this audiobook thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan publishing, and TJ Klune. Truthfully, I loved what I heard. Daniel Henning did a tremendous job narrating this book.

I was fortunate enough to read The House in the Cerulean Sea as an ARC. Being able to get a glimpse into this one gives me the same feeling I had then. Whisked away by sheer brilliance.

I will definitely be reading and listening to this book as many times as I have the previous book and I guarantee it will be among my physical copies for my “shelf trophies” and given away for every occasion I can think of.


I cannot thank TJ Klune, Macmillan Publishing, and NetGalley enough for allowing me the opportunity to relish this ALC sneak peek and share my honest thoughts and opinions with others.

I absolutely adore Daniel Henning's narration. He does such a stellar job with the voicing and when I started listening I really didn't want to stop. He took me right back to the island with all of my favorite characters and made it seem like no time at all has gone by since I listened to The House in the Cerulean Sea. I have now pre-ordered the audiobook and will be thrilled to listen to the whole thing when it releases next week.

I loved this little taste of what's to come in the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea. Th first book made my heart so happy, and I cannot wait to rejoin some of my favorite characters. Looking forward to the full release!

I’m absolutely thrilled for the release of the Cerulean Sea sequel! The sneak peek was everything I hoped for and more. Seeing the characters I fell in love with return brought an overwhelming sense of joy and nostalgia. It’s like being reunited with old friends, and I’m so eager to dive back into their world. The snippet captured the magic and warmth that made the first book so special, and I can’t wait to see how their stories continue to unfold. This brief glimpse has only heightened my excitement, and I’m counting down the days until I can read more!

I absolutely loved this sneak peek! The narrator was fantastic and did such an amazing job. I can't wait till release day to dive in and finish this gem.

This sneak peek has me so excited for TJ Klune's follow up to The House in the Cerulean Sea. I would love to see this become a series because I just can't get enough of the characters. I will definitely be getting a copy come pub day!

Can't wait for the full copy!!!! I loved the first book, and know this one will be just as good! Wish they had released an ARC of the full, but only a few more days left.

I an so very excited for the release of the Cerulean Sea sequel. I have always been a huge fan of TJ Klune, but thus book sincerely wrapped around my heart.
This sneak peek was perfect. It brought back my favorite characters and the problems they are facing from the first book, which was a nice refresher.

Also my absolute favorite narrator, Daniel Henning is back reading the sequel, bringing his magic to the characters and the story. He never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I can't wait for the release of thus book!

The following is a review of the audiobook sneak peak, with a full review to follow once the novel is released.

TJ Klune’s writing is incandescent in this sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea—filled with the quirky characters we love, a distinct writing voice, and a universal theme befitting a talented queer author. Pair that with the voice acting of Daniel Henning, who captures the humor and distinctiveness of each character, and you have a recipe for a fulfilling follow-up to this book’s beloved predecessor. I’m eager to see more of Arthur and Linus dealing with the humor of raising these unruly kids and can’t overstate how important it is, representation wise, to have two queer dads raising kids to love and accept themselves. I’m tentatively rating this 4 stars simply because it feels wrong to rate it higher without reading the full work, but could see this being a 4.5-5 star read if the rest of the novel persists at the same level. I’ll adjust my rating accordingly after reading the full work. Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Books for providing me with a free audiobook sneak peak in exchange for an honest review.

Having read the previous book and loving it, I was disappointed to only be able to get my hands on the Sneak Peek of this newest one. So. my physical book will already have been read by the time I hand it off to my husband or daughter. I can accept that. It’s hard to review something like this because it is completely out of context. We get to see how Arthur took his childhood and made it into a positive adulthood. But that’s it. There are the quirky inhabitants and we get to meet or be reaquainted with only a few. It makes the quirkiness less likable when you don’t actually know the character. I know I will love it when I get to read it.

I appreciated the sample and am excited for the book to come out on audiobook at my local library so I can listen to the full thing

My ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is another great one by TJ Klune! This kicks off with the main characters preparing for a hearing and what will ultimately be the government’s attempt to drag Arthur Parnassis’ name and the home he’s created through the mud in an attempt to erase queer and/or magical beings.

Very excited for the sequel to this series! The opening sequences in this audiobook did a fantastic job of not only re-introducing the characters to us but also beautifully illustrated some of the core problems from the first book that will be very crucial to the whole plot line in a very short timeframe. The narrator is also absolutely fantastic at depicting the different characters with very distinguishable voices that had me drawn in to every line. Incredible job so far.

They're all back, and I couldn't be more excited. Having recently read The House on the Cerulean Sea, I was ecstatic to learn that this sequel was only weeks from being published. The narration by
Daniel Henning makes the story come to life in a way that just keeps a smile on my face. I can't wait to read the rest! Thank you NetGalley, for the chance to listen and review this Sneak Peek.

It was fun to get a sneak peek of this whimsical book! I loved The House In The Cerulean Sea, so I have high hopes for this sequel coming out on September 17. The narrator does a fantastic job in the audiobook!

Well this was great! I had four chapters to be immersed back into the Cerulean Sea world with all of our favorite characters and get really excited for the story. Only to remember that this was an excerpt and I still have to wait two more weeks for the book to be released.

Daniel Henning does a fantastic job narrating these fantastic characters and I can't wait to hear the rest of the book.

I am very much looking forward to the release of Somewhere Beyond the Sea. I can't wait to join these characters as they embark on another adventure.

Cannot wait for this book! So glad I got a sneak peak this is one of my most anticipated of the year!

I thought this would be the full audiobook. If it was just a sneak peek, I wouldn’t have requested this.

I have so enjoyed the part of the book I got to hear on audio! My favorite was hearing the voices of the characters I loved and hearing about the next part of their journey.

Gosh, I was so disappointed when I found out that this was just a sneak peak of TJ Klunes book. I need the rest!!
