And the Ocean Was Our Sky by Patrick Ness

And the Ocean Was Our Sky

by Patrick Ness

From the multi-award-winning author of A Monster Calls comes a haunting tale of power and obsession that turns the story of Moby Dick upside down.

"Call me Bathsheba." The whales of Bathsheba's pod live for the hunt. Led by the formidable Captain Alexandra, they fight a never-ending war against men. Then the whales attack a man ship, and instead of easy prey they find the trail of a myth, a monster, perhaps the devil himself... With their relentless Captain leading the chase, they embark on the final hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of whales and men.

The message of this story was absolutely so very important, and I loved the POV being a whale. This story showed the horrors our oceans and the animals that make it their home face due to humans. I've never read anything like this before, but it's such an important topic. We need to treat all world better. End of story. It's imperative that humans do better.

Words are kinda failing me at how much I loved this.
