nila 's review for:

And The Ocean Was Our Sky by Patrick Ness
4.25
mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I really enjoyed this vibe, the only thing I didn't really like where the moments when Ness clearly felt he needed to explain something, but it just takes you out of the story. It's kind of Moby-Dick with a twist. I don't usually like vague writing, but this felt like reading Pan's Labyrinth and I really enjoyed it. The artwork is gorgeous too, and fits the story so well
