Reviews
"A warm hug of a book about a Grinch of a man who dies and a ferryman, who helps the dead in their journey onwards. Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale. Fans of queer fantasy won''t want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly "TJ Klune is a master storyteller." -- The Mary Sue "TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses. He is a gift to our troubled times, and his novels are a radiant treat to all who discover them." -- Locus Praise for The House in The Cerulean Sea A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER!

It's a beautiful book." --Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author " 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, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless "Sweet, comforting, and kind, this book is very close to perfect.

Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale. Fans of queer fantasy won''t want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly "TJ Klune is a master storyteller." -- The Mary Sue "TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses.
