Now what does this mean for the other 2 fantasy books that I will be (forcing myself?) to read? Well, 2 things actually: If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will probably love this book! I read the first 2 Harry Potter books and just couldn’t read any more. This book reminds me of Harry Potter in so many ways. People say that this book is WONDERFUL! If you love (can tolorate?) fantasy, this sounds like a truly fantastic read. I am 100 percent positive that this book gives a beautiful message but unfortunately I just couldn’t get past all of the fantastical elements to find it. Nervous energy or not, moving statues are just not for me. I’ve heard such BEAUTIFUL things about this book! Yes I went in with a nervous energy but I really don’t think that hindered my acceptance of any of it. Now, I must say that I’m disappointed that I just couldn’t do it. The whole “alternate universe where things aren’t what they seem” is NOT something I enjoy.


I hate books in this genre, I hate television shows in this genre, I HATE movies in this genre. I just absolutely hate this type of fantasy. The writing itself was good! The fact that I read 70 pages is proof of that! I googled the defination of sprite and here’s what Marriam- Webster had to say: An elf or a fairy.īy this point, I was reaaaaaaaally struggling to continue reading but forged through in hopes of expanding my literary genre comfort zone.Īnd then around page 70ish there was a statue. Already I wasn’t into it but I decided to keep reading.Īnd then the main character meets a sprite. So the book begins with a girl levitating blocks above her head. For more on this challenge and why I’m forcing myself to do it, read THIS POST** Goodreads Synopsis of The House in the Cerulean Sea : **This is book #1 of the reading challenge that I set up for myself. I had promised you my thoughts on The House in the Cerulean Sea last week…here they are today! It was my favorite part of the whole week and I’m missing it today 😦 I usually blog each morning while my son takes an online class but last week I traded that in for daily breakfast in bed with my daughter while we snuggled up to watch iCarly. It was my daughter’s Spring Break and while I had every intention of still blogging, spending that extra time with my kids just felt so good. Hiiii! I’m so sorry I went a bit MIA last week.
