House on the Cerulean sea gives good Omens fanfiction vibes. It's basically Crowley having a house full of magical kids,#crowly raises Adam, and Aziraphale checking it out on behalf of Heaven. It even has az / Linus leaving

i’m a sucker for a good character driven book. don’t get me wrong, a good plot doesn’t go unnoticed but unless i actually care about the characters, i’m never gonna love the book.
some things that make a good character driven book:
you know exactly what the characters main goal is. this goal might change over the course of the book but you always know what motivates them
you know what the character stands to lose if things go wrong. you know what the worst case scenario looks like for this character
several of the characters develop a bond to each other such that losing the others would be part of the worst case scenario
some examples of books that are character driven and have well developed complex characters:
six of crows by leigh bardugo
gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir
the foxhole court by nora sakavic
the house on the cerulean sea by tj klune
under the whispering door by tj klune
song of achilles by madeline miller
carrie soto is back by taylor jenkins reid (received as an ARC)
the plot could be watching paint dry but as long as the characters and their relationships are well developed and complex, i’m interested

The most annoying thing in the world is when you watch a show or read a book and there's no fandom.
Just you and your thoughts.
I am having this problem.

If there is one thing I like in fiction about the anti christ, it's when their a literal child and act like it
Examples being the one from good omens(book, haven't watched the show yet)
And House on the Cerulean Sea. Loved that book. I would like to see the anti christ being a little girl instead that'd be pretty cool.

Okay it’s been a while since I’ve read the book but how is The House on the Cerulean Sea not trending on Tumblr???
It has found family, magic, gay romance, some of the most adorable dynamics I’ve ever read, and you’re telling me it’s not trending on a site like this?

Just finished Under the Whispering Door and was devastated to find absolutely no fan content :(
Guess I’ll have to make some myself

I found out that TJ Klune is coming out with a second book for House on the Cerulean Sea, and now I can't function.
I might as well give my teachers no work at all because I have a need to just sit in places and read. All. Day.
