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

5.0

so fucking delightful and charming. kind of similar to a series of unfortunate events in its whimsical world (extremely upper management) and possibly in its tone. but it was so much more colorful. the writing was wonderful and i didn’t mind the way it lingered on details. i enjoyed the world and the characters enough to want to hear more about their lives and inner thoughts. linus’ transition from being an extremely by the book person to realizing what’s more important was endearing and his relationship with arthur was too good.  i liked how all the reveals and secrets were very well built up throughout the book. in a way that was too obvious but just present enough to make you recall them upon the reveal. everything about this book was really just lovely. including the voice acting which brought it to life.
