Haris reviews The House In The Cerulean Sea – In this week’s book review, ReadNUS Publicity Assistant Director, Haris, tells all about the things he loves and doesn’t love about ‘The House in the Cerulean Sea’ by T.J Klune. He writes: “The book certainly offers some unique contributions within the fantasy and young adult genres, and it is backed by a robust plot with thought-provoking themes and lovable characters. Yet, I cannot help but feel that the style of writing is slightly overpowering, making this read a bit of a miss.” Head over to our website for his full review.
