It’s full of the most delightful characters, each of which is unique and lovely in their own way.
To say this book is a breath of fresh air would be putting it mildly.
And he might just find precisely what he didn’t know he was looking for in the first place. When Linus is sent to evaluate an orphanage on a remote island where the most dangerous children are being kept, he is thrust into a world of secrets and enchantments that will change his life in a number of ways. He lives alone with a cat who begrudgingly tolerates him in exchange for periodic sustenance, hates his job as a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth which he is, unfortunately, very good at, and derives pleasure only from his collection of old records. Linus Baker is quite bored, even if he doesn’t quite realize it. It’s quirky, a little weird, and wildly original.
The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of those books you don’t realize you need until you pick it up and find yourself smiling despite yourself. While I maybe didn’t have the best luck with life in 2022, I did have some good luck with books.
