And the second one is when it is written down in a straightforward manner, like in The House in the Cerulean Sea & Anxious People! I enjoy both of these kinds of writing styles. First is when the message is between the lines, like in Harry Potter or Six of Crows. When it comes to witty fantasy fiction, authors usually go one of two ways. ~~THOUGHTS~~ ~~FANTASY FICTION WITH LIFE LESSONS~~ As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn.Īn enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place-and realizing that family is yours. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days.īut the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist.
As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. ~~GOODREADS DESCRIPTION~~Ī magical island. Especially in the world we live in where everyone seems to have forgotten basic values like kindness, seeing the good in people, fighting prejudice, not being judgemental, believing in yourself & just what it is to be human. Even though the book sounds like it may be for children, there are so many life lessons in it for adults as well. I finally picked it up to check off the last fantasy book off my Reading Challenge. Like many other books, this one also sat on my bookshelf for a long time. Hi Readers! I recently read TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea.
