Somewhere Beyond the Sea

 10/21/24

I'm on to my next book and I'm kind of excited to read this one. This is the second book to House in the Cerulean Sea. I had no idea that the book was even going to get a second one, but I'm glad that it did. I'm not sure what this book is about or whether is continues our story from the first book. I just saw it existed and I wanted to read it. So far I've like TJ Klune's books and find them pretty adorable. Also I'm glad that my co-worker gave me the book once she was done getting the book ready to be put on the shelf at work. I'm literally the first one to read this copy of the book and I plan to treat it with care. Well, I'm off to read the adventures that this book holds. My goal is to read it in three days, so let's see if I can do it. Wish me luck.

I have finally finished reading the book. It took me so much longer than planned because I somehow ended up with a second job that takes up most of my reading time. But our lovely characters have been through a rollercoaster of events. This book does continue on from the first book and it starts with Arthur going to a hearing about his experiences with the DICOMY and the DICOMA. But sadly, he goes unheard. Instead one of the politicians decided to twist his words and stories for her own gain. Then an inspector is being sent to the island once again. But first Arthur must pick up a child in need of a new home. There was also a proposal at some point. The inspector comes to the island and the children make is very interesting for her. The inspector then gets banished and the government comes for revenge only to anger a certain sprite. Gets banished. The island than gets connected to the main land and everyone lives happily ever after. Well at least for now. There are more details in the book but that is the run down. I want you to read this book. I really enjoyed it and I find any book that T.J. Klune writes adorable. I look forward to more of this story but I know that this could be the last one. Or, the author is just going to sit on this and wonder how the story is going to continue. Either way I will read it. The book gets three out of five stars. It was almost four stars but I can't say that I loved this book. I enjoyed it and I love the characters in it. But I still wouldn't say that I love the book. Would recommend though.
