A review by mistysbookspace
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

5.0

 I went into this book not knowing anything about it. I never read the synopsis or anything I just knew everybody has been raving about this author and I wanted to give him a try and this is the book I started with. When I first started reading this I thought it was really cute and I was enjoying it, but I also felt like it was overhyped. I no longer think it is overhyped. I loved everything about this book. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did an amazing job narrating each of the characters. As for the story itself as I said it was just so freaking cute and it teaches you a lot. I don't want to go into detail because I think you should go into this book knowing as little as possible. The biggest takeaway from this book is acceptance but it's also about found family and finding your place/home in the world. For a fantasy novel this is very simplistic, but it worked for this book and I think that's part of what made this book so amazing. Like I said I listened to the audiobook of this so I don't own the book yet, but I have added it to my wish list as well as some of his other books because I want to read everything else this author has written now.
