I wasn't disappointed in this book, though it isn't necessarily my favorite of his (probably a tie between More Than This and A Monster Calls). The premise is just as weird as you might imagine, if you've read any of his other books. I'll admit, it took a couple of chapters to get adjusted to the whales as narrators, particularly because of the way they refer to the ocean.

It was all exceedingly creative, and I can't wait to see the book with the final illustrations because I think both together will be breathtaking. If nothing more, this book makes you think. I finished it weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably buy it when it comes out on the 4th and continue to think about it. It's just one of those books. 

And the Ocean Was Our Sky is Patrick Ness in all his weirdly creative glory, and I can't wait to see what comes after this. Read more of my thoughts at between-the-shelves.com!
