The way this story highlights the circle of violence that exists in our world.. I will be thinking about this book and it’s last lines for a long time.

this story is something else.
it’s strange and so different and at the same time speaks so many truths.
i liked and hated how the whales are humanities in this book. how the use our kinds of weapons, ships and live in cities and work, instead of having a more animalistic version of those things - BUT it does make this story appeal to more readers i would guess.
it makes it easier to see people in the whales and connect to the story.
i do love how this story ends, how it discovered and unveils this devil and shows what a real devil is. that’s just how i enjoy this type of story.
but it’s pretty brutal.
both in picture and storytelling.
there is a lot of death, murder and killing. there is torture and brutality…
it’s not a nice little story.
but i think it works very well and i enjoyed it a lot more than i expected both the first time i read it and even more so on the reread.
it’s something different but well told.
