The book, "Under the Whispering Door" by TJ Klune standing next to a wooden snowman.

“Sometimes, death is a blessing, even if we don’t realize it right away.”

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

December 17, 2022 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

I was gifted Under the Whispering Door Winter Solstice, 2021.  Narfna described it as a ‘warm hug’ in her review and I wanted to save it for when such a book was needed.  Somehow almost a year has passed and it sat on the shelf.  When looking for my next read I swear I could hear the book say, “You should read me before you get more books for this year’s Winter Solstice book exchange”.  The book had a point so I picked it up and […]

Whimsey in the Face of the Mundane

The House in the Cerulean Sea, by TJ Klune

December 16, 2022 by LittlePlat 1 Comment

This was a gift from last year’s book exchange, and while I finished it a while back, I think I put off reviewing it because I prioritised all the Hugo works for Bingo instead; I had a harder time fitting this into my scorecard calculus! What this did mean though is that I had some extra time to read through a second time around. And would you believe it was even more wonderful the second time? At the start of The House in the Cerulean […]

I like you just the way you are

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

October 9, 2022 by ElCicco 1 Comment

This is one of the sweetest stories I’ve ever read. It’s about difference, exclusion, prejudice, unconventional families, the magic of love and inclusion, which all sounds lovely and perhaps a bit cliché. The thing is, author TJ Klune writes about these topics in a way that is sometimes surprising and always effective. Klune has created a world in which magic and “monsters” exist, and those children who show signs of having magic are separated from the rest of society and put in orphanages run by […]

I’m already dead

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

June 22, 2022 by Ellesfena Leave a Comment

Under the Whispering Door isn’t a sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, even though the covers look so similar–and even though TJ Klune uses the word “cerulean” no less than three times throughout the book, which is three times more than I’ve ever seen it in any other book besides The House in the Cerulean Sea. It felt sort of thematically the same, though–a sweet love story, a redemption story, and one about found family. I think I liked The House in the Cerulean Sea better. Under the […]

“If you see something, say something.”

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

March 22, 2022 by Sophia 1 Comment

I cannot remember where I first saw The House in the Cerulean Sea (2021) by TJ Klune, but I may have been looking for available audiobooks at the library. It has primarily positive reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, and I thought it might be a fun listen during my commute. In the end, I thought it was all right. I liked some parts, but on the whole it felt too long and I was not fully invested in the characters. My favorite part of the book was […]

What will you do with the time you have left?

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

March 17, 2022 by RaRaGabor 2 Comments

So….I downloaded this audiobook on Libby, thinking that it was a different TJ Klune. I thought I was borrowing The House in the Cerulean Sea. So I was Extremely Confused to be listening to a story about a real a-hole of a lawyer who dies suddenly but ends up sticking around as a ghost. This is no one’s fault but my own, of course, though it may explain why it took me a while to warm up to this story. Wallace Price is the a-hole […]
