Wallace is a seemingly heartless, career-driven lawyer who ends up dying from a heart attack while alone at the office. At his funeral, he meets a woman who can see him. She says that she is a Reaper and she brings him to a teashop to meet his Ferryman, who is supposed to help Wallace come to terms with being dead and help him prepare for the next step of his journey. I loved a lot of Under the Whispering Door. There's a sweetness to the whole book, with likable characters, heartfelt moments and a found-family vibe. The book didn't always work for me though. The pacing of the book felt off and it seemed longer than it was. Sometimes the dialog seemed unnatural, like there was a list of things that they had to say during each interaction. I tried to read this last year but quit halfway through because of the issues that I mentioned. I'm glad that I gave this another chance and finally finished it.
If ever there was an author to watch out for, [Klune] is definitely that author. A delightful tale about chosen families, and how to celebrate differences. This inclusive fantasy is quite possibly the greatest feel-good story ever to involve the Antichrist.... The House in the Cerulean Sea will delight fans of Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series and any reader looking for a burst of humor and hope. There is so much to enjoy in Under the Whispering Door, but what I cherish the most is its compassion for the little things―a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue―healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid―and maybe even worthy of love. This is a sweet narrative about the value of asking questions and the benefits of giving people (especially children) a chance to be safe, protected, and themselves, regardless of what assumptions one might glean from, say, reading their case file.
Quando un mietitore va a prenderlo al suo stesso funerale, Wallace comincia a sospettare di essere morto. E quando Hugo, il proprietario di una singolare sala da t©·, si offre di aiutarlo ad attraversare, Wallace capisce che, s©Ơ, deve proprio essere morto. Ma Wallace non si rassegna ad abbandonare una vita che sente di avere a malapena attraversato ed ©· deciso a vivere fino in fondo anche un piccolo scampolo, anche una breve parentesi di esistenza che, se vissuta pienamente, pu©ø farsi intera.

Wallace is an unlikable character but I didn't mind it. It was clear to me from the start of this book that this was going to be a redemption story so Wallace being horrible was just par for the course.
I liked the secondary characters but didn't feel like they were as interesting or as memorable as the secondary cast in Cerulean Sea.
This book feels a lot like Cerulean Sea and I think some people will love that. I didn't.
I often found the pacing of this book a little slow and wanted to shout at the book can we move along and get to the point?
While I did find this book entertaining I equally found it meandering.
I didn't feel that certain aspects of the story were explained as much as I wanted them to be.
Also, I felt like the end was a cop out. I think most people will really like the end but I was genuinely mad at how the book ended.
I think if you love Cerulean sea you'll at least like this book. ( )
