Cerulean Chronicles #2
Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the hugely anticipated sequel to TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea, one of the best-loved and best-selling fantasy novels of the past decade. Featuring gorgeous orange sprayed edges!
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.
Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one.
He’s the master of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.
Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there’s the island’s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.
But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.
And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.
Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

July 29, 2024 When I received this arc, I'd thought it was the entire book. However, it's just an excerpt (Epigraph and first 4 chapters)
Not only can I not cultivate an honest review on 4 chapters but I'm struggling to get into said 4 chapters. I'm a little bored.
I'll be putting this book back on my tbr shelf until the entire book is released.
* Slams fist down on desk* THIS is what I'm talking about! I mean, maybe not so dramatic, jk. idk but I'm excited!
Many thanks to NetGalley, Tor Publishing Group, and TJ Kune for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review! 🐦🔥🌊

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via BlackCrowPr and the publishers.
(Spoiler free review)
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea and was another amazing read. I'm always in awe of T J Klunes books as he has such a talent in bringing the characters and settings to life as well as bringing fun and laughter as well as tears and addressing serious topics in creative ways.
In this book, we have Arthur Parnassus story as he goes back to the island to face his past, make a home for his children for the future, and welcome a new child into the fold. The book reveals more about Arthur's past and the abuse he was subjected to as a child, which isn't gone into in too much depth but is enough for you to understand. The children are one of the best things about these books, and I love them all so much! Lucy, Talia, and Chauncey just cracked me up, and I loved meeting David, who's such a sweetheart, and his story really broke my heart.
A DICOMY ( department in charge of magical youth) inspector goes to the house to stay for 2 weeks under the pretence of making sure the children are being cared for, taught, suppressed from using their magical abilities etc but her real intentions come to light towards the end of the book causing the children band together to support and help their Dad (Arthur - who's going to be adopting them all). Arthur and Linus are just so cute together, and we learn lots more about so many of the characters in this book. From how the book ends, I'm hoping there will be a book three.
I couldn't put this book down, and I'm so grateful I was given the chance to read an ARC as I've been so excited to read this- it really didn't disappoint!

ALL THE SPOILERS AHEAD, BEWARE!
I almost don't know what to say about this book. I'm incredibly disappointed that this book was allowed to be published, as it is hugely problematic.
I really loved The House in the Cerulean Sea when I first read it, and at the time I could see the parallels between Klune's story and the way Indigenous people in Canada have been treated (historically and currently), so then to hear that it was directly inspired by the 60's Scoop, left me feeling quite off about it. And to hear Klune speak about it, it's as though it was this small, little snippet of Canadian history that he discovered. Which, it's not. And he rightly got called out on it. And did not respond in any way, which didn't impress me. But, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, he made a mistake, let's hope he does better going forward. And he really has not with this sequel. If anything, it's worse than THITCS.
The absolutely blatant use of Indigenous trauma to write this book (and sell it, because you know it's going to sell well) and then not acknowledge it whatsoever is absolutely disgusting. I wanted to give Klune a chance to hear the criticisms of THITCS and to learn from that, and not do it again, but I think he actually leaned harder into that trauma with Somewhere Beyond the Sea. In it we have Arthur, our POV character this time around, giving testimony about his time and how he was treated in foster care, he received a monetary settlement because of it; both of these things are exactly what happened with survivors of the 60's Scoop, where Indigenous children were stolen away from their families and put into white foster homes, where they were treated appallingly. While it was at its height in the 1960s, it continues TO THIS DAY, with Indigenous children making up a large majority of those living in foster care. To use Indigenous trauma that is still ongoing is insensitive at best and appropriation at worst.
Throughout the book there are mentions of intergenerational trauma, the dehumanization and othering of the children in foster care, treaties and land rights. These are all very real traumas and issues that Indigenous people in Canada are dealing with today. The 60's Scoop wasn't some small blip in Canada's history, its legacy and trauma is still very present today. At one point in SBTS the government officials come and try to take the children away (at which point treaties and land rights are mentioned) and the imagery of an Indigenous Elder, who escaped being taken by hiding under the dead body of their family (while this is reminiscent of any colonized people, it is very much a part of Indigenous history, too), showing the bad government people the treaties that were signed and declaring the land sovereign is evoked. And I can't help but think of all the times this has happened in Canadian history (as well as present day) and how the police were called in and the government just did whatever they wanted. The Wet'suwet'en in BC are still dealing with this, despite their never having ceded their land. To use this sort of imagery without knowing the history is just not okay.
In addition to the blatant use of Indigenous trauma to write this book, there is also the issue of how it portrays white saviourism. Don't worry marginalized children who have been ripped away from their families and cultures, these two middle-class white men will save you! While I do think that Klune was trying for more of a found family feel, this just comes across as white saviourism, and while the children aren't being abused, they're also not learning about their own unique cultures. This is a huge problem within the foster care system, in that children from marginalized communities are placed with white foster families and they completely lose their culture. So to reinforce that is quite awful.
And lastly, setting aside how incredibly problematic it is, the story was not compelling in any way. With THITCS, you could tell that it was a story that Klune was excited about, whereas with SBTS it feels like he was trying to write the sequel he had no intention of writing. The plot was very haphazard, the characters not well developed. I am also having feelings with regards to the dedication and author note, in that Klune is dedicating this book to trans kids and he talks about how he wants his legacy to be as the anti-JKR. However, as far as I know, Klune has never written a trans character. There is one very minor side character in SBTS who I believe is meant to be non-binary, but I don't know that they actually even have any lines of dialogue. If you are wanting to set yourself up as the anti-JKR, maybe include some trans characters in your books? Dedicating a book to trans kids and then those same kids not even being able to see themselves in that book is making me feel some sort of way.
Overall, this was a complete dumpster fire of a book that never should have been published. After reading this I am seriously considering what do to with my not insignificant collection of TJ Klune books, because it honestly makes me feel gross to even be looking at them.

Pre-Mini Review
I had the incredible opportunity to receive the first four chapters of this book, courtesy of MacMillan, and I'm beyond thrilled to confirm that it is an absolute MASTERPIECE. However, I’m now left hanging until September, and the wait is excruciating! 😭
From just these few chapters, Arthur, Linus, and especially the children have already made me laugh, cry, and fall in love with their captivating stories. The characters are so vividly drawn and emotionally compelling that I’m desperate for more. The wit, charm, and heart in these pages are unmatched. I need more, and I need it now. How am I supposed to cope until the full release? 😭😱

I cannot express how excited I was when I got the notification from Netgalley that I could read an excerpt from this upcoming release.
Reading about the Marsyas gang again is like coming home, taking off my bra, slipping in some jimjams and snuggling up with my cat. It's the book version of a warm hug. I don't want to spoil anything, so I will just say that the gang is in top form, the love is immense, and Chauncey is possibly the greatest being ever in existence. I can't wait to read the whole book!

I can already feel how unpopular of an opinion this is going to be (not my coworker literally staring at me with glowing embers for eyes)…..but I will speak my truth gosh darnit. This book was ALL fan service. Don’t get me wrong, I ate it up like 300 pages of Lucy the Antichrist?! Say less brother. But what made House in the Cerulean Sea so unique and special just doesn’t hit the same here. It does make sense because Cerulean Sea was very unique to its time, being the first really inclusive “cozy fantasy” to hit the mainstream, but I don’t think that’s an excuse for this one to not be as good. There was little to no real plot or character development, and while the overall message of “sometimes you can’t change people’s minds and you just have to stand up for yourself and what you know is right” is REALLY good and present - the conflict or resolution to make it hit home just feels inevitable and 2D. I’m not trying to take away from the absolute WHIMSY of it all, and maybe if I just wanted to feel good this would be 5 ⭐️s, but I was promised Arthur’s deep dark past and I got Arthur being an incredible dad to his kids for 300 pages. I’m not complaining I stg I’m just saying 😭 i did love David the yeti, he was fantastic and his dynamic with Lucy was everythinggg. Overall though, I was a little disappointed by the epilogue-esque feeling of it all. Sorry ☹️

I wanted to love this book SO bad!! Learning that TJ Klune wants to be the anti-JK Rowling makes some of the questionable choices make a little bit more sense, but in my opinion they didn’t add much to the story itself. I’m glad I made it past Arthur and Linus’s trip in the beginning of the book, but I almost didn’t. And banishing/monarchy being the saving grace? Weird to me how that’s supposed to give us hope.
I loved the kids (and their voices in the audiobook) and the imagery of the island. It’s still top of my list of fictional places I’d love to visit. I loved seeing Sal’s growth from where book 1 ended, but wish we would have gotten to know David (and the rest of the kids) even more.

It is my life's greatest honor that I was able to read an advanced copy of this book. I must admit, I was so nervous going into it. How could Klune possibly write a sequel worthy of Cerulean Sea? He did NOT disappoint. The character development was incredible. I didn't think it was possible to love these characters and this world any more than I already did, and yet this book caused just that.
May 11, 2024
I was excited to read the first few chapters of the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, but upon receiving my excerpt from NetGalley and peeking at other readers' reactions, I heard the news about his "inspiration" for the first book, and my rose colored glasses were shattered.
I loved THITCS, but I never thought critically about why two white men, Arthur and Linus, keep the "dangerous" kids forever orphans in the foster care system and don't make any effort to reunite the children with their individual communities or heritages.
And in this new book, it reads as a different type of twisted when the 15-year-old Sal explains the definition of generational trauma (chapter 2) and when Arthur bristles at the idea of someone accusing him of "possessing" the children (chapter 4). Cringe.
In chapter 2, Arthur says, “I wasn’t treated right when I was a child, but I was far from the only one. You have all experienced it for yourself, in one form or another. I wish I could take that from you, but I can’t. And I don’t know if I would have the right, even if I could."
It's almost as if his character is on the verge of understanding white saviorism and why it's wrong to abduct marginalized people. Almost as if TJ Klune recognizes his error and is still trying to contort and twist things to justify his books.
I'm disappointed to hear that TJ Klune exploited indigenous stories and is continuing to do so, despite the reasonable critiques that have been brought to his attention. It seems like he doesn't understand the significance of what he's done. I love that a queer book is seeing lots of love. But I also don't think this gross appropriation should be overlooked.
On TikTok, @mynameismarines explained all of this best.
