Reviews

I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect
*V. E. Schwab, author of Gallant and The Near Witch*

A witty, wholesome fantasy that’s likely to cause heart-swelling
*Washington Post*

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect. It’s a beautiful book
*Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series that inspired HBO's True Blood*

1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in. Touching, tender and truly delightful, The House in the Cerulean Sea is an utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family and defeating bureaucracy
*Gail Carriger, author of Soulless*

Sweet, comforting and kind, this book is very close to perfect . . . I cannot recommend it highly enough
*Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children series*

This tale of found family is hopeful to its core. Readers will revel in Klune’s wit and ingenuity
*Publishers Weekly*

Lambda Literary Award-winning author Klune (The Art of Breathing, 2019) has a knack for creating endearing characters, and readers will grow to love Arthur and the orphans alongside Linus
*Kirkus Reviews*

Quite possibly the greatest feel-good story ever to involve the Antichrist . . . a burst of humor and hope
*Shelf Awareness*

A beautiful little gem of both irony and, yes, kindness
*Fantasy & Science Fiction*

A delightful tale about chosen families, and how to celebrate differences
*Library Journal*

If ever there was an author to watch out for, [Klune] is definitely that author
