I read an advanced excerpt the first 4 chapters of this book, and so far I’m really enjoying it! In this book we are getting to see another side of Arthur through flashbacks and will get learn even more about his upbringing when he testifies about his experiences. I loved reading about the children’s hijinks and am looking forward to reading more and seeing how a new resident impacts the dynamics of the house.

This is just a four chapter excerpt of the book to come. But it doesn’t seem that it will disappoint.

I LOVE EVERYTHING TJ KLUNE. While it is hard only reading an excerpt and not the full thing, I literally found myself transported into Klune's world. The writing in this series is nothing short of amazing, captivating, and so well done. I can't wait to read the whole thing!

Can’t wait to read the full thing! Great preview into what is to come. It was lovely to be immersed into the world of Arthur and Linus and the lovely characters again for a short while. September is too far!

So hard to give feedback on an excerpt. But, it was just enough to let everyone know that this book is going to be worth the wait! There is nothing better than being back in this world. The excerpt was a tease — can’t wait to see how it plays out.

While this is only an excerpt, it's clear that the magic—and tension— that made The House in the Cerulean Sea so beloved are here. From the little that is shared in this excerpt, a few notes:
+ Political pressures are up and the parallels to today are unmistakable. It will be interesting to see how much this pulls readers out of the dreamland of the book into the nastiness of real life—and also, bravo to TJ Klune for not making magic out of these real issues
+ It's a sequel so far that needs to be read in order
+ I want to live with these kids

I can't wait to see where this adventure goes next! It was great to get a little re-introduction to this great cast of characters.

Well this little teaser just left me dying to get my hands on the rest of the book! September can't come soon enough!!!

I was provided the 1st 4 chapters of this book from Tor Publishing Group via NetGalley.
I have fallen in love with all of these characters all over again. It had been a while since I read The House In The Cerulean Sea but it all quickly came back to me when reading this excerpt. I was reminded of the love these characters have for each other as well as the difficulties they have dealing with the outside world.
It is hard to review just a portion of the book but I can say that I gave the 1st book 5 stars and from what I have read so far this book is just as beautifully written and gave me all the feels. I cannot wait to be able to read the rest of it when it is published in September. My prediction is that I can then give it 5⭐️

So excited for this book after the excerpt! It was a perfect teaser. I love the message of belonging and found family. Can't wait to read the rest!

The whimsical crew we came to know and love in The House in the Cerulean Sea is BACK! The prologue flashes back to Arthur opening the orphanage, and the first chapter brings us back to the present, plunging us right into some hilariously charming antics and banter from the children. Arthur and Linus leave the island to participate in a hearing, and Chapter Four ends with said hearing about to begin. After a delightful beginning, I’m already hooked and I so badly want to keep reading!

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Books for the excerpt. September 12th can’t get here fast enough! ❤️

Surprise! This advanced readers copy was only an expert! I say nothing but the approval for Beyond The Sea so I was surprised to find I was at 50% at chapter two! With a little research I seen that I was in fact approved for an excerpt but these first 4 chapters are phenomenal and makes me beyond excited to read the rest of this book! I’ve missed all these characters so much! The writing as just as welcoming and embracing as the first book. Can’t wait for more!

Thank you NetGalley and Tor publishing for an advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

This excerpt got me so excited for Somewhere Beyond the Sea. I adored House In the Cerulean Sea and I have been anxiously awaiting its sequel since I heard about it. The excerpt proves it will be as charming and delightful as its predecessor

I have never had such an anticipated book before. House in the Cerulean Sea remains one of my favorite reads of all time, and the excerpt for Somewhere Beyond the Sea was extraordinary! Can't wait to read the full book!

I was enjoyed the bit I was able to read! I am excited for the full story, this is beautifully written

I don't know how to review a preview of a book, but the first four chapters have me hooked, which is unsurprising as this is my most anticipated read of the year.

eagerly awaiting this one! the excerpt has me wanting more and I absolutely love Klune's work! thank you for the teaser preview, but I must have more!

This has me SO excited for the rest of the book. I am counting down the days until I can read the entire book!! Thank you for the sneak peak!

These first four chapters were so good!! It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger and I'm really excited for when this book gets released to find out what happens.

Thank you netgalley for the excerpt in exchange for an honest review

An expected 5 star read! The first four chapters of Somewhere Beyond the Sea are absolutely delightful. Such a powerful and thought provoking opening to the highly anticipated sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea. I have thoroughly enjoyed digging into Arthur’s backstory a little more and am absolutely thrilled to see what is to come. While I love all of the Cerulean Chronicles children, Lucy and Theodore are probably two of my all time favorite characters. I can’t wait to read more!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Tor Publishing Group, and TJ Klune for the opportunity to read this excerpt.
