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 […]

Death can’t stop any of these characters

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

February 22, 2022 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

TW for this review and the book: murder, suicide, discussion of death of both people and pets. Author TJ Klune also includes a similar warning at the very beginning of the book which I greatly admire. Maybe it’s age. Maybe it’s reading more. Maybe it’s just accepting my own emotions, but Cannonball Read has made a liar out of me. Books never used to make me cry. Rarely even tear up. I would feel things, sure. But not cry. That was a response strictly reserved […]

A Sugar-Coated World I’d Like to Live In

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

January 31, 2022 by sabian30 1 Comment

At first, I thought this book was trying to be Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children with an isolated orphanage housing magical children. But as I joined Linus, the case worker from the bureaucratic Department in Charge of Magical Youth, on a special “level 4” mission to investigate the most unusual of the unusual, I discovered a charming same-sex love story (!). Arthur, the headmaster of the “orphanage” (a euphemism since none of the inhuman children are ever adopted) is a soft-spoken gentleman who cares […]

Home is Whenever I am With You

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

January 4, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

The House in the Cerulean Sea was on a best of list, but I can’t remember which one I got it from anymore. I highly recommend Daniel Henning’s read of the audio book by TJ Klune. The story is set in the present, or perhaps the near future, but there are magical creatures. Like many stories, there is a registry of the creatures, there’s a lot of discrimination and fear. In this case, the creatures are children, and they live in an orphanage run by […]
