A short excerpt of a wonderful and heartfelt story. The reader is transported off island as Arthur and Linus fight for what is right.

This excerpt is perfect! It brought me right back into the story. I can’t wait for the full story to be released!

I am SO excited for this book to come out. I received the advance excerpt from NetGalley and what I've read has made me even more anxious to get the whole thing! It was so easy to get back into this world of magical creatures. Lucy is still Lucy and I can't wait to see what he's up to! We start off finding out a little bit more about Arthur and then get right back into the family adventures. I can't wait!

I’m hopeful that it will be good but impossible to say as this was only four chapters. I gave the first book five huge stars but didn’t realize this was just a little but of the book. I look forward to reading it.

This prologue and first few chapters are perfection. The novel starts off in an exciting and important way with Arthur preparing the home many years ago and gives us some additional background to what we found out about his history in the first book. Then, the book jumps right in with all of the lovable, heartfelt, and hilarious characters from The House in the Cerulean Sea. The novels feel so beautifully connected so far and I cannot wait to read the rest of the book and dive deeper into this world and these characters! Thank you for the opportunity to read an early excerpt!

“Magic makes the world beautiful” as does TJ Klune’s writing. I enjoyed this excerpt so much and wish i had the full book to rate properly. It was so good to get to know the magical creatures under Arthur and Linus’ care, as well as learning more about their relationship.

I can’t wait until the whole book is released! Reading the few chapters they provide you with tell you all you need to know, that it’s going to be a great book.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK! I am already so ready for the full version. This was only a couple chapters, but I am so excited to get to return to these characters and their story. There isn't a lot of detail in the first few chapters but I have a good guess where it is heading and can't wait to see what Arthur, Linus and all the children get in to in the sequel.

I loved house in the cerulean sea so when I saw the second book was coming out I was ecstatic! I only got an excerpt of this book but I cannot wait to read the entire book! The first few chapters draw you in and make you want more. I love this author and all the characters in the book. I cannot wait to see what happens!

I was tricked by the title and thought I got approved for the whole book. What a tease! This is one of my most anticipated reads of 2024 and I can’t wait until it officially comes out in September.

I was given an excerpt through NetGalley that included the first 4 chapters of the story. Klune’s new novel drops the reader right back into the world of Cerulean Sea. It feels so good to reunite with the cast of lovable and magical characters, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the story when the book is released.

If you loved the first book, this will not disappoint!! I am especially excited to learn more about the world off of the island of Marsyas in the coming chapters.

I will need to be sedated until September 2024 because I can't waitttt to read this entire book!!! The House in the Cerulean Sea was undeniably my favourite cozy fantasy of 2023. I laughed, I cried, I was at a loss for words. Reading this excerpt immediately brought back those same emotions. I'm so excited!! Huge thanks to Net Galley, Tor Publishing Group, and T.J. Klune <3

I’m excited to read the entire book when it comes out! I enjoyed the quirky characters and setting in the first book. I hope that this next book will add even more depth to the characters and circumstances from Arthur’s perspective.

I downloaded this not realizing it was an excerpt, it’s in the title obviously but I was too excited to notice it! I can’t wait for the full edition, I have it preordered and thus was a fun teaser at what’s to come.

Thank you Netgalley, Tor and TJ Klune for the arc!

I devoured the excerpt and I am so excited to be back in this magical world. I loved the house in the cerulean sea and when I found out there was going to be a sequel I was over the moon. I'm very curious to see how this next book unfolds, I loved the few chapters that I got in the excerpt and will be waiting on pins and needles to get the rest!

I must start by thanking both NetGalley as well as the publisher Tor Books for my eARC excerpt in exchange for my honest review. That being said l can only give an opinion on a small part of the completed work as that unfortunately is all that was provided.
I very much enjoyed the first book, The House on the Curlean Sea, and feel like l have come home to the characters of that edition with this follow up. The excerpt is no more then a reintroduction and l feel it it unfair to review based on this. Therefore 3 Stars should not be seen as a fair rating but a half of what l hope the total will become.

Thank you to NetGalley, Tor Publishing Group, and TJ Klune for the advanced excerpt of Somewhere Beyond the Sea!

I'm pretty devastated that this was only an excerpt since I only finished The House in the Cerulean Sea a few days ago. Despite this, I'm in love with it. Linus and Arthur's relationship is so sweet and from the excerpt, it seems like the plot line of this sequel will be very interesting indeed. I'm excited to read the rest!

The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of my all time favorite books ever and when I heard there was a sequel, I had to have it. Somewhere Beyond the Sea focuses on Arthur’s story. This little excerpt teaser has made me rabid for more. I cannot wait for September!

The house in the cerulean sea is one of my favorite books. I was so excited to see that there was a sequel coming out as I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. Arthur returns to the island and restores it to be used by magic children .

The breakfast that the children for Linus to celebrate his birthday is both heartwarming and hilarious. the children mean well by making a complete mess of the kitchen.

Arthur and Linus are going to the main land to be the voice of those with magic. No idea what is going to happen next but I can’t wait to find out. I love how TJ Klune can build a beautiful world where all are accepted just as they are.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an excerpt from this book early.

Being able to return to Marsyas and see what everyone has been up to since The House in the Cerulean Sea was so refreshing and made me smile. They are such an amazing group of people who show what what love and family really means. In this story we are seeing things through the eyes of Arthur as he navigates his found family and works to show the world that magical people need the same rights and opportunities as anyone else.

This book will be released in September of 2024. I am so excited to see where this beautiful story goes.
