Thoughts: I absolutely loved βThe House in The Cerulean Sea.β It is a YA fantasy and contemporary fantasy book that I found wholesome and full of amazing messages. The interesting cast of characters made it truly enjoyable to read. TJ Kluneβs writing style and the character development, especially Linusβs, were highlights. I am looking forward to reading βSomewhere Beyond the Sea,β book #2 of the Cerulean Chronicles.
Synopsis: Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, heβs spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages. Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside β including the Antichrist. At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And, as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty, or his dreams.
