&#;Hope?&#; Linus said stupidly.
&#;Hope,&#; Mr. Parnassus repeated. &#;Because that is what we must provide him, what we must give all of them. Hope and guidance and a place to contact their own, a house where they can be who they are without fear of repercussion.&#;
I’ve seen TJ Klune talking about his new book with his new publisher on Twitter for awhile now. As soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to add it to my TBR list and plead Tor for an initial copy if I had to. The House in the Cerulean Sea is labeled as LGBT Humorous Contemporary Fantasy Fiction, so I dove into it with relish. Ready for anything and everything… And ended up reading it in one sitting. It was that good.
This book was just so much. So much heart, so much charm and humor, so much feeling, so much everything I didn’t know I needed until I sat down to read. It starts out by introducing Linus Baker, a case worker with the Department in Charge of Magical Youth (DICOMY). Linus lives a colorless, drab life where each day consists of exactly the same thing. He lives alone with only his cat C
The House in the Cerulean Sea: A TJ Klune Book Review
A fun contemporary fantasy novel featuring unlikely family, magical youth, and a truly enchanting story all wrapped up in a massive gay blanket.
Introducing The Residence in the Cerulean Sea
Spoiler free!
The House in the Cerulean Sea is a quirky fantasy novel by author TJ Klune. Klune excels at creating endearing characters, comfortable and relatable settings, and weaving his own lived experiences as a queer, neurodivergent bloke to create an utterly absorbing story. The Dwelling in the Cerulean Sea has the feeling of a modern fairy tale and of classic children&#;s literature written for adults &#; while still existence totally appropriate reading for children.
The House in the Cerulean Sea was something of a breakout contemporary fantasy novel, a piece of thought provoking Orwellian fantasy about magical children a society which fears them.
Heavily inspired by the real world Sixties Scoop, a period in Canada during which Indigenous children were removed from their homes and families to be placed with ivory, middle class foster parents instead or government sanctioned orp
Two Terrific Reads for Coming Out Day with Powerful LGBTQ Representation by TJ Klune: The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door
October 11 is Coming Out Day; a day that celebrates the ability for LGBTQ people to be uncover about their identities. I wanted to pick an author who was not only proudly part of the community, but also one whose work had strong LGBTQ representation, and Lambda Literary Award Winner, TJ Klune, seemed the perfect choice.
The House in the Cerulean Sea
I picked up The House in the Cerulean Sea after it was recommended during a webinar about kind reads, stories that lack graphic sex and aggression and often have a theme of finding ones place in life. Appreciate a lot of us after , I was in need of a book that was the equivalent of a approachable hug for my heart and the whimsical plot of the novel also sounded very much in my wheel house. The book, however, was even better than I expected; probably one of my favorites of last year.

Are there LGBT characters? It&#;d be a lot shorter to discuss about what isn&#;t lgbtq+ in this book. I mean, just look at the cover.
Brief summary / book review: Linus Baker is a middle-aged, overweight case worker who inspects orphanages filled with magical children, for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth (known as DICOMY). He gets a exceptional assignment from the hilariously named Extremely Upper Administration to go visit a strange orphanage far from home. It&#;s a secluded place, filled with very dangerous magical children, including the son of Satan.
If you&#;ve read any other review of this publication, you&#;ll probably have seen it described as &#;Pixar-esque&#; and yeah, that&#;s attractive spot on. You acquire the usual beats &#; a lonely man who is firmly entrenched in his own habits, denying the plain truth that he is miserable, existence literally transported to a different place that shakes him out of his rut, makes him complete things he normally otherwise wouldn&#;t do, and completely changes his life for the better.
Before long, Arthur Parnassus, the head of the orphanage, and Linus clearly de
