Über diesen Titel
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.
*Winner of the 2024 Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy*
Arthur Parnassus has built a good life on the ashes of a bad one. He’s headmaster at an orphanage for magical children, on a peculiar island, assisted by love-of-his-life Linus Baker. And together, they’ll do anything to protect their extraordinary and powerful charges.
However, when Arthur is forced to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself fighting for those under his care. It’s also a fight for the better future that all magical people deserve. Then when a new magical child joins their island home, Arthur knows they’ve reached breaking point. The child finds power in calling himself a monster, a name Arthur has tried so hard to banish to protect his children. Challenged from within and without, their volatile family might grow stronger. Or everything Arthur loves could fall apart.
TJ Klune's Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the No. 1 New York Times-bestselling sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea.

A worthy successor
Daniel Henning does a fantastic job as he did in the first book of this series, maybe a bit overly dramatic at times but that is just my personal taste. However he does give all the different characters life and makes them utterly charming.
This story is a bit closer to current events or rather it focuses more on the big picture and the politics behind the scenes and is therefore quite a bit darker, it displays more disputes in close detail including harmful and toxic rhetoric. Although Klune is obviously keeping it still family friendly and leaving the really nasty hate speech out, I have to say as a queer person myself, this one was harder to read than the first one because of that. This is not a criticism, I think it would be wrong to leave out the harmful language and hateful, toxic ideas that are being used, especially in the whole anti-trans propaganda. Just on a personal, emotional level it was harder to listen to.
The overall story arc was very well thought out with a very satisfying conclusion at the end. And I loved the new character of David, although I would've liked to see more of him as a person, since he was mainly used as a catalyst and to make a point about the effects of hiding who you are. Still a lovely addition.
There are two points I didn't really like: First, I personally find the whole marriage storyline unnecessary. It doesn't really add anything to the story, If anything it kind of confuses the story a bit. There was no real leadup to a proposal, none of the characters ever talked about why marriage was important to them, it just basically happened to show that the relationship progressed from the first book, but we don't really get to see that here. I would've liked to see more actual change in the relationship dynamic. We see a couple of small glimpses here and there, when Arthur gets a bit angry and has to deal with his own past, but those are few and far inbetween.
The second point is again, not a criticism. Klune takes real life discrimination problems (including rather specific propaganda) and transfers it to the magical community in this world. His solution is however mainly one that cannot be transferred back to the real world. Obviously I don't expect the author to have the answers to what is sadly a global problem at the moment but it left me feeling a bit hopeless and hollowed out at the end because the only thing I could really take with me into my real life was the notion of an abstract hope that someday thing will get better.
Overall still a really enjoyable listen and I would very much recommend it!
