I cannot wait for this book! Having read Beyond the Cerulean Sea and then the first few chapters of Somewhere Beyond the Sea, I simply cannot wait to be back in the world created by TJ Klune.

I am so excited for the rest of this novel! I never thought we would get a sequel, and this preview made me so grateful to TJ Klune for revisiting this universe and I am looking forward to reading more!

I really enjoyed The House in the Cerulean Sea and could not wait to be with these characters again! I loved the little peek I got from this excerpt and am so excited for this to come out! I love the children and can't wait to see what they get into in the rest of the book. I am also very intrigued about the political bits that we got in the first few chapters. Can't wait to see what happens next!

I am so excited for this sequel to House in the Cerulean Sea! This preview indicates we will pick up right as the first book leaves off and we will see all that happens next for the many characters we grew to love. Klune''s heartwarming style deals with hard subjects of difference and rejection in a way that makes a reader hopeful for a future with kindness and empathy. I will be picking this book up in full on publication day for sure!

I waited to read this excerpt until it got closer to the release date and I am so happy I did. I truly enjoyed every minute and cannot wait to read the whole book. This is a great sequel to an already amazing first book in the series!!

Klune made sure that the magic from Cerulean Sea was still there in Beyond. The kids are just as delightful and the world is just as whimsical. I cannot wait to read the whole thing!

Thank you to Tor and Netgalley for access to the eARC sample!

Really disappointed this was only an excerpt! Looking forward to reading the entire book. Giving 3 stars because it feels weird to rate only an excerpt.

While I was a bit bummed that this was only the first five chapters, I absolutely adored them. My hands are itching to finally find out Arthur's whole story and see him reunited with his rag-tag-found-family.
Please let it be September soon, I need to know MORE.

Since we were only given an excerpt of the book, I will not be giving a review on goodreads, storygraph, or instagram. It wouldn't be right to give a review on a book we don't fully have. Sorry, but it is what it is.

For what we got the story is pretty good. I love Arthur and this is just something I was really looking forward to. What I read was good but like, I guess the rest of the book is good as well?

I am literally so excited for this book. After reading this excerpt I am counting down the days!! Such a fantastic first 4 chapters. I love the dynamic between Arthur and Linus and the kids. I also really like that this book seems a little higher stakes than book 1. I can’t wait to see where it goes!

Not only can I not cultivate an honest review on 4 chapters but I'm struggling to get into said 4 chapters. I'm a little bored. I'll be putting this book back on my tbr shelf until the entire book is released.

So cute, I wish I could keep going! Looking forward to picking it up next month.

Though I know the plot will focus on the new addition and the ongoing larger political/social developments of the world, I’m most intrigued that this installment is told with a focus on Arthur rather than Linus, and also to see the kids from the first book developing into older kids, preteens, and teenagers, and all the new parenting challenges that are sure to come with that.

I wish I would have known this was just a preview - I so wanted to get back into the cozy world of this series and was excited to read the whole thing. Will be waiting for pub date in a few weeks to finish the story!

This excerpt was just enough to remind me what I loved about its predecessor. TJ Kline is a master of reeling readers in right away and taking them for a ride that will leave them breathless with hope and joy.

The first four chapters have me absolutely feral for the rest of the story. I can't wait to be back with these characters!

So so so so excited for this book. It going to be so hard to wait weeks for the rest! Can’t wait to see more of these characters we’ve come to love and see them grow and change more and maybe change the people around them too!

I love The House in the Cerulean Sea so I was so excited to read the follow up. This is an excerpt of the forthcoming book, but it got me so excited to read the full book when it comes out in September.
This book is still about Arthur and Linus and we get to see them interact with the children while they get ready to testify in front of the committee regarding the care of magical children. The story feels so familiar and brings back all of the characters from the first book.

This is my most anticipated book of the year. I requested off work on pub day to make sure I could fully enjoy this one. I was completely ecstatic to see Somewhere Beyond the Sea on NetGalley, but I admittedly did not realize it was only an excerpt of the novel. I'm not one to enjoy "spoilers" so I haven't wanted to read any of this for having to stop just a few chapters in. If this was the entire book, I would have devoured it the moment it dropped onto my Kindle.

While this was only a small piece of a larger story I'm more excited than ever to read this sequel!!

Oh my heart 🥹. I have never been so happy to be reunited with a storyline and with specific characters in my life. This is book 2 of Cerulean Chronicles!

This is an itty bitty excerpt from the new book by @tjklune and I damn near squealed out loud when I was approved for this! Even if it is just an excerpt.

The audiobook is narrated by the same narrator as The House In The Cerulean Sea and he is utterly perfect. The voices he uses for all of these endearing and unique characters has me feeling like they are real people that I just want to jump inside these pages to hug.

And now that I’ve gotten a sneaky peek I will for SURE be adding to cart as soon s the full version is available, which it looks like is happening on September 10th!

THANK YOU to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio, Tor Publishing, and the author for these excerpts in exchange for my honest thoughts.
