The House in The Cerulean Sea (⭐️ 4/5)
For me, it really came close to being perfect in all sense...

It is based in a world where magical beings live among humans. A case worker is sent to a mysterious orphanage to investigate the treatment of the magical children that reside there by their warden, a charismatic but peculiar man.

I stopped counting how many books like these have I left in the middle. I don't go for the sappy/emotional types usually. This one made me believe that I still have some f ...more
