![]() Linus does his job and he cares for the children, but he doesn’t think about what happens after he leaves. I think the magic of this book is that it captures the mundanity of the bureaucracy so perfectly, from the monotony of cubicle life to the grueling strain of aggressive middle management to the mystery of Extreme Upper Management to the horrifying consequences from the stroke of a pen, which all boiled down to an extreme disassociation from everything in order to cope. And it was made worse when he realized it was actually Tuesday. He couldn’t believe it was only Wednesday. Today was a shit day, and this book brought some light and joy into my life. ![]() But the danger isn’t the six children he’s assigned to assess, but himself. This is the most important-and dangerous-assignment of his life. So when he’s tapped for an extra-secret assignment to the middle of nowhere, he’s terrified. So what if his life is a little empty? He has a cat, a house, and a steady income. He does his job as a social worker for magical children, writes meticulous reports, and nothing more. ![]() Linus Baker is a solitary man, dedicated to his job. ![]() The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune ![]()
