And the Ocean Was Our Sky by Patrick Ness

5.0

Beautifully and movingly illustrated, gave depth to what otherwise might have seemed slightingly slim and more easily overlooked. But I loved his approach to this inversion of Moby Dick and felt it very true to elements of the original, while pulling out certain themes more strongly (futility of war & enmity; the hope, however faint, to do better). But in the end with the same sense of tragedy.
