Thanks for this little snippet of this book! I am so excited for this one! The first book is one of my all-time favorites and I can't wait to continue this story!!

I was so beyond excited to see that TJ Klune is writing a follow up to The House on the Cerulean Sea that I just had to read this excerpt. The excerpt just skyrocketed my interest in his next book - can't wait to read more about Arthur and Linus' relationship and the kids they care for.

This tugged at my heartstrings and I can't wait for the full book release. It's going to be amazing!

I guess I didn't realize this was an excerpt and now utterly bereft T what feels like an eternity for the book release. Fantastic!

This was a phenomenal first 4 chapters. The pure love in the mission of the orphanage is so heartwarming, and I know I am speaking for all the readers when I say, we are loving the backstories. The pacing is incredible so far, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the book and enjoy the story/characters more.

I find it hard to write a review for the book, since this was only an excerpt. However, this is still one of my most anticipated release of the year.

I thoroughly enjoyed diving back into their world and watching Arthur and Linus interact with the children. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started reading their story again. It was very heart-warming and I feel like this will be a perfect winter cozy read. I’m looking forward to posting a full review once I’ve read the entire book.

With just a handful of chapters, I can already tell this book is going to be great.. I couldn't put it down or stop thinking of it. Leaning his forehead against Linus’s, Arthur whispered, “Let them listen to what joy sounds like. Maybe they’ll learn a thing or two.”... This book is going to make me cry uncontrollably, isn't it?

It’s nearly impossible to review an excerpt of a book because we obviously aren’t given the entire story. I felt duped by this tactic if I’m honest. It felt like a way to generate a lot 5 star reviews by fans of the beloved The House in the Cerulean Sea without providing the actual book. Setting those negative feelings aside, revisiting these characters felt like coming home. I very much look forward to reading the entire book.

Loved this excerpt!! It had the same flow as book one and reading about the characters again made me happy. I am extremely excited for the full book to come out!

What a wonder except that starts off pulling you in immediately to the wonder of the island! I cannot wait to read the full book upon release!

Having loved The House on the Cerulean Sea, I was excited to learn there was a sequel coming. When I found this excerpt I was so excited to get a copy. It didn't disappoint and now I can't wait for the official novel to come out. TJ Klune is such an excellent writer and his stories run so deep. The characters in these novels are so well developed and each have their own personality. The reader can find something in at least one, if not more, of the characters and relate to them and how they are viewed or treated. I was a little disappointed that it was only an excerpt and not the whole novel. It definitely gave the necessary tease that the publisher was hoping for in creating excitement for this release. September 10th can't come soon enough, and I will definitely be picking up a copy of Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

Absolutely fabulous.
Within 8 pages I was nearly in tears. Getting to see more of Arthur’s past, as well as returning to this world and found family I adore, was exactly what I wanted.
The vibes are perfect and immediately take you back to the cosy, wrapped in a blanket feeling of House in the Cerulean Sea.
I can’t wait to get to read the rest.

I can't wait to read the full book! I absolutely loved The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was such a cozy, heart warming hug. I am excited to read this one in it's entirety.

I felt a bit duped when I realized I received an excerpt of the novel, but I know that's my fault for not looking deeper into the description - I was just so excited to see Somewhere Beyond the Sea as an option!

Though I wasn't able to get too deep into the book, I felt as if I had fallen right back into the world of the Cerulean Sea. It was lovely and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the novel.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc excerpt!

I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea, so I was so excited to see that we could get even just a little bit of book 2!

I am so happy to see Arthur and Linus together, and with the kiddos too! I'm really looking forward to seeing them and the kids grow emotionally and overcome all of the hard things they've dealt with in their past. I can not wait for the full version!!!

Just an excerpt, but I'm so excited for this sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea! What you can expect from this author: excellent world building, beautifully painted feelings & emotions, and characters you will just fall in love with. 🥹 So excited for this book!

🗣 Thank you to netgalley and Tor for the opportunity to read and review this excerpt via gifted eARC! All opinions are honest and my own.

OBSESSED. I couldn’t have loved this sequel more! TJ Klune is such a beautiful writer. These are some of the most lovable characters I’ve read about in years. It’s magical, sweet and endearing. Absolutely loved it.

While we were only gifted a snippet of the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, it immediately won me over. I went from tearing up at a glimpse of Arthur before the children to laughing out loud through the opening sequence reintroducing them. Klune is a must read/must purchase for me and my community. I can’t wait to get the whole book!

Didn’t realize this was just a teaser, I’m devastated! Already drawn back into this beautiful world with lovely characters. I cannot wait for the release date!

I thought this was the full book but apparently it wasn't. Oops!

Either way, the vibes were immaculate and really felt just like The House in the Cerulean Sea. I'm happy to start to get insight into Arthur's life and past.
