Our hero, Linus Baker, has spent the last fifteen years as a caseworker for the Department of Magical Youth, which quarantines children with magical powers or qualities into orphanages and schools. I recommend it for adults who are young at heart and for kids and teens with old souls. The book is not a romance novel specifically but it does involve a lovely m/m romance. However, the main character is an adult and themes include grinding bureaucracy and the numbness of everyday life. It’s written almost like a fable for children, with simple language and many heavy-handed explanations of its morals. The House in the Cerulean Sea charmed me to pieces even though I’m not quite sure who the book is for. Genre: Fantasy/Fairy Tale Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy
