Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune – Book 2 in the Cerulean Chronicles 📖
Where to even begin 🥰
First – go read the first book if you haven’t already (The House in the Cerulean Sea).
Second – read this book!!
There are simply not enough words to describe how beautiful this book is. It is magical, warm and fuzzy, cozy and heartwarming. Laughter, tears, anger, joy, all the feelings, all of them.
This duology (so far) is exactly what I loved about reading fantasy books as a child. Exactly what made me into a book dragon. The story, the setting, the characters, the charm of the whole village, the attitude of the villianous government department are all perfectly written. The humour is top notch, especially from the children.
Of course there are also strong LGBQT+ messages through both books, TJ Klune is completely transparent about that, declaring himself to be the Anti-JK Rowling. I think he has achieved that beautifully. The sad thing is that those people who might avoid the books for that reason are probably the ones that actually need to read them.
Do yourself a favour and dive into these enchanting books and meet the most amazing characters! I think it’s going to be tough for another book to knock this one down from my number 1 of 2025.
