*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
The House in the Cerulean Sea was perhaps the best book I read in 2020, and is a book that I think about quite often so the minute I saw that this book was available I knew I needed to have it.
This book took me a little bit to get into. I started and stopped a few times and the first 50% took me quite a while to get through There wasn't anything wrong with it, I just wasn't as invested as I wish I would be. But then I sat and read the entire second half of the book in one setting, getting completely swept up in the characters, setting, and story.
So while it took me a little bit to get invested by the time that I was I needed to know more and more. I fell in love with the characters swiftly and once I was truly in their world I didn't want to leave.
This book explores the important ideas of death, life, and what happens when we die. It talks about the people that we leave behind, but it also talks about what happens to us. It examines the baggage that we bring with us everywhere we go and how that affects us now.
This is a book that I am excited to pick up again and again, because I think that it has a lot more to teach me.
