Thanks to DAW for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I was hooked by the whale world, and reeled in by in-world academic articles with footnotes. But the real highlights were the gorgeous imagery all throughout the book and the love and longing of the characters.  The shifting perspectives, the power of creation and story, the family and friendships - so much love and beauty, even when it's bittersweet. Highly recommend for fans of more literary, slow and reflective fantasy.
