Save:'And the Ocean Was Our Sky' by Patrick Ness is a reimagining of the classic 'Moby Dick' told from the perspective of whales. The story follows a hunting pod of whales led by Basheba as they track down their devil known as Toby Wick, an evil entity that has caused chaos within the whale community. The book explores themes of obsession, madness, good vs. evil, and the true cost of fear and rumors passed down through generations. The narrative is unique in its portrayal of the whales' culture and their interactions with the human world, all while questioning traditional notions of morality.
The writing style in 'And the Ocean Was Our Sky' is described as beautiful and creative, with illustrations by Rovina Cai adding depth to the story. The book is a quick and easy read, yet thought-provoking, as it challenges readers to consider the complexities of good and evil, destiny, and the consequences of one's actions. While some readers found it to be a departure from Ness's other works, they appreciated the inventive concept and the way it made them reflect long after finishing the book.
